Johnstown Insider – Weekend Events March 26-29, 2026

From Easter egg hunts and children’s book festivals to fish fries, live music, craft shows, and community theater, this weekend is packed with ways to get out and enjoy the area. There’s a strong mix of family-friendly spring events during the day and plenty of music, trivia, and nightlife after hours, making it easy to find something whether you’re heading out with kids, friends, or just looking for a reason to leave the house. Here’s a look at what’s happening around Johnstown and nearby communities from Thursday through Saturday.

On March 27, 1852, the Cambria Iron Company was incorporated in Johnstown, laying the foundation for what would become one of the most important steel-producing operations in the country.

That moment helped shape the city’s identity for generations.
