Oil City Arts Council Presents Jolly July 3rd

The Oil City Arts Council is pleased to present its annual Jolly July 3 rd Festival, set for Sunday July 3, 5 – 10pm in Justus Park, downtown Oil City. The family-friendly event provides a festive evening of food, music and fun for all ages along a spectacular view of the Allegheny River.
