Discover Presque Isle
Jul. 24-30, 2023
We are excited to announce the 29th annual Discover Presque Isle celebration at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, PA!
Discover Presque Isle (DPI). is hosted by the Presque Isle Partnership, an official non-profit partner to Presque Isle State Park. DPI is a multi-day celebration that occupies several areas of the park and offers dozens of family friendly recreational and educational opportunities such as self-guided and in-person hikes, archery, catered pancake breakfasts, live music, sand sculpture competition, giant bonfire, and Presque Isle Lighthouse tours.
While nearly all programs are free, donations are encouraged and appreciated as they help to further the Presque Isle Partnership mission.
Local and regional artists and crafters are invited to apply to this year's Discover Presque Isle Art in the Park & Food Truck Festival, July 28, 29 & 30th, at Beach 11.
