Wintertime certainly can have us feeling cooped up every now and then, and some of us begin counting down to spring before we’ve even seen our first snowfall. Fortunately, with its hilly terrain and snowy days, Pennsylvania makes it easy to keep cabin fever at bay. We can go sledding, hiking, cross-country skiing, or attend one of winter’s many outdoor events, like this winter festival in Drums, Pennsylvania.

Clear your calendar for WinterFest at Nescopeck State Park in Drums, an epic family-friendly event that’s slated for Saturday, Feb. 3., 2024 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
