Erie, PA: Arts & Entertainment
Here's an unintended - and delightful - consequence of Erie's affordable cost of living: it acts as a magnet for artists and creators of all kinds. This has made Erie a wonderfully vibrant place with a great variety of cultural and entertainment options.
It's impossible to think of a similarly sized city with more dance companies, for instance. And the presence of five colleges and universities has drawn an internationally recognized roster of visual and performing artists to the area. Oh, and it goes without saying that no matter which option you choose, the tickets will be affordable, too.
Looking for Attractions?
Let us count them: A new casino and horse racing track, some of the best shopping in this part of the country, the largest indoor waterpark within hundreds of miles, wine festivals, professional sports, heritage and educational sites, boating and watersports. Oh, and seven miles of the most lovely (and least crowded) beaches in this half of America. Are you ready to visit yet? Then consider our restaurants, skiing, amusement parks and the best little zoo you are ever likely to see. Now spread these out over four seasons and you'll see why Erie is the surprising - and surprisingly affordable - vacation destination you've been looking for.
