Shade Central City Heritage Days Festival

Heritage Days began in 1994 with the local Historical Society planning a festival to celebrate Shade Township and Central City Borough's Heritage. The festival is currently sponsored by the Shade-Central City Heritage Days Organization.

The festival's goal is to be a community picnic for all ages to celebrate and enjoy good food, games, music, and other entertainment. Call for dates.
