Centre Hall hosts the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair, known to most as the "Grange Fair".
The Fair attracts tens of thousands of people during its run, and takes place the last full Thursday to Thursday week in August annually.
It is one of the few remaining tenting fairs in the United States, with nearly a thousand "army-style" tents laid in rows throughout the grounds.
In 1874, Leonard Rhone, a local farmer and activist, urged that members of the local Granges that he had founded to invite their neighbors to a one-day Pic-Nic to introduce the Patrons of Husbandry organization for farm and rural families.
 With the exception of 1943, the Fair has been held every year since.
