There’s a summer celebration going on Saturday at Penn State Greater Allegheny and Mon Valley residents from near and far are invited to converge upon the McKeesport campus to enjoy it.
The second annual SummerFest 2019, set for 4 to 8 p.m., is a free, family friendly event on the 52-acre campus nestled on University Drive between McKeesport’s Renziehausen Park and McKeesport Area High School.
Great music, great food and a great community are waiting for all Valley residents who attend, according to Dr. Jacqueline Edmondson, who is the campus’ chancellor and chief academic officer.
