Held in Renovo, Western Clinton County PA, the second weekend in October every year since 1949, the PA State Flaming Foliage Festival features the grandeur of the fall color palette displayed in the Allegheny Mountain Range area of the larger Appalachian System in North-Central Pennsylvania. The festival runs from Friday through Sunday and includes talent show, dances, hundreds of craft, services, and food vendors, a parade through the town featuring the "queens" representing area high schools and climaxed by the crowning of the Flaming Foliage Queen on Sunday. Renovo is mid-way on the Route 120 "Scenic Bucktail Trail" which runs along the West Brance of the Susquehanna River from Lock Haven to Emporium. This is one of the few unspoiled stretches of wilderness in the Eastern U.S. Wildlife including deer, elk, bear, wild turkey, and grouse abound.

by: William Conti

It's almost time again for the annual FLAMING FOLIAGE FESTIVAL in Renovo, Clinton County, PA which is held on the second full weekend of October. This year's dates are October 11, 12,& 13. As usual,the real attraction is the incredible natural beauty of the mountains as the foliage turns an incredible array of browns, yellows, reds, and more. Route 120, known as the "Bucktail Trail" runs from Lock Haven, through Clinton County town such as North Bend, Farwell, and Renovo and on into Emporium in Cameron County which is the most sparsely populated county in Pennsylvania.
Enjoy!

I was born and raised in Renovo. My parents moved to Bradford, Pa. in 1955. Bradford ever since.

This Flaming Foliage Festival IS the GREATEST event of this type I have ever been to. I will always come back to this and always bring friends, who are amazed at the beauty of Renovo area & Hyner View.

Keep up the GREAT work.
