Westmoreland County is heading into early August with a strong mix of free festivals, kid-friendly activities, and classic small-town outings that are easy to enjoy as a family or visitor.

The energy is especially strong around Cedar Creek Park, downtown Irwin, and the broader Greensburg-Latrobe corridor.August Fun Fest at Cedar Creek Park on August 2 brings free admission, live music, a car cruise, a petting zoo, rides, crafts, and a family activity pass.

Downtown Irwin keeps building as a walkable event district, with the Irwin Night Market set for August 15 and more than 15 free community events each year.

Latrobe’s late-summer buzz stays strong with the Great American Banana Split Celebration scheduled for August 22–23, turning downtown into a family-friendly block party.

Greensburg continues to attract visitors with recurring public events and a steady downtown arts-and-music scene, which helps keep the city lively for residents and tourists.

Countywide tourism remains upbeat thanks to scenic trails, parks, museums, theaters, and attractions that give families plenty of low-cost options beyond a single event weekend.

These trends point to a county that is leaning into accessible, all-ages fun while keeping local businesses and public spaces active. That makes late summer a good time for residents to rediscover nearby favorites and for visitors to plan an easy weekend trip.
