4. ABOUT
WILLIAMSPORT, PA
Williamsport is located within Lycoming County
in central Pennsylvania. With a population
of 29,304 people, the city of Williamsport
is ranked the 7th fastest growing city in the
U.S. Recently, interest has grown in exploiting
natural gas in the Williamsport area, which has
been creating economic growth in the area.
Williamsport is the home and birthplace of
Little League baseball and hosts the annual
Little League World Series every year. There
are many community events associated with
the Little League World Series including a
parade and a festival known as Williamsport
Welcomes the World. Art and entertainment is
highly demanded for these events.
With the growth of the annual 1st friday events,
the increasing demand for live music from local
businesses, and the sprouting art galleries,
the art and music scene has become very
prominent in the community within the last 10
years. The Uptown Music Collective has been
on the fore-front of the this movement.
