August 15 & 16 Mt. Gretna, Pennsylvania 35th Annual Outdoor Art Show Sponsored by the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Under the oaks of old Chautauqua 285 artists Deadline: April 1 In mid-August as many as 18,000 festival-goers will plan on enjoying a weekend of art, crafts, entertainment and gourmet food. Where is Mt. Gretna, PA?
Visit this link. Every year, during the third weekend of August, this community of some 700 homes and cottages suddenly springs to life, welcoming 285 artists chosen through juried competition and 20,000 visitors who-by their presence acknowledge the role that art plays in their homes, hearts, and lives.
And every year, as thousands of art show patrons return, many others discover Mount Gretna for the first time. For everyone who comes, it is a return to an earlier era: to a time when neighbors greeted neighbors from their front porches, when going for ice cream meant going for a stroll rather than getting into an automobile, and when life itself pulsed at a rocking chair pace.

I am doing Mt. Gretna for the first time this year. Looking forward to it. Have heard about the second show and also that some artists have booths in both.
Robin, I have not done either of these shows, but have always heard good sales reports on the "official" Mt. Gretna show. One of the ways you can tell if it is a good show is if a "squatter" show appears nearby. I have heard that this other show is very close to the official show and you may even have to walk through it to get to the real one. No reason not to try for the "official" one...don't you have great work?
Does anyone know of another show, a bit less formal, at the same time as this one and also in Mt Gretna? I've heard that the Mount Gretna official show is almost impossible to get into/
Anyone have experience in either of these shows?
