ADVISORY - The "It's Fall-ier in PA Swagon" is On the Road to Promote Pennsylvania as The Great American Getaway

The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) launched the "It's Fall-ier in PA Swagon" to demonstrate why Pennsylvania: The Great American Getaway is the ultimate destination for fall enthusiasts. The Swagon is a classic hay wagon and rustically designed trailer that will provide an immersive experience to evoke the scents and sights of fall in Pennsylvania.

Announced September 23, the Visit PA "It's Fall-ier in PA" campaign is leaning into Pennsylvania's premier position as the place to experience the very best of autumn - from unrivaled fall foliage and the nation's most historical haunts to the season's best scents and treats. On Wednesday, Governor Josh Shapiro promoted fall travel in Pennsylvania by visiting Black Moshannon State Park - one of 124 free state parks in Pennsylvania - and unveiled new color-correcting viewfinders to help colorblind and color deficient visitors view the best fall foliage in the nation.

"We're excited to take Pennsylvania's fabulous fall season on the road to encourage and inspire more people to experience all that the Commonwealth has to offer," said DCED Deputy Secretary of Tourism Anne Ryan. "Fall travel is vital to Pennsylvania's economy and contributes significantly to the $76.7 billion impact that tourism generates for the Commonwealth. Our "It's Fall-ier in PA Swagon" will help entice the millions who live within a four-hour drive of the Commonwealth to discover why they should plan their perfect fall getaway in Pennsylvania."
