The Details:
The Oil Heritage Festival, celebrating its 48th anniversary in 2026, is an annual event proudly hosted by the Venango Area Chamber of Commerce. It honors the region's significant history, particularly the discovery of petroleum and the mid-1800s oil boom along Oil Creek, which played a crucial role in fueling the Industrial Revolution. This major Western Pennsylvania festival, held annually on the fourth weekend of July, showcases the area's distinctive heritage through various related events. Volunteers from local civic and social organizations collaborate to sponsor a wide array of activities designed for entertainment for all ages. Festivalgoers can look forward to Evening Concerts in Justus Park, a Car Cruise-In, and a Craft Show in Town Square.
