Arts & Entertainment

A playhouse in the woods, amusement parks, Broadway shows---the Dutch Country Roads region offers so many surprises to people who love top-notch entertainment! Visit during the summer and check out the arts festivals, or take a drive along our Artisan Trails. Of course, you'll find antiques and handcrafted Amish goods galore, but you can also browse our sophisticated boutiques and enjoy the nightlife in our cosmopolitan cities. Concerts, dance performances, gaming, and museums sit side by side with more traditional amusements. You won't believe the variety.
