Welcome to The Rock …

And of course, the town is just a pebble toss away from The Rock — Slippery Rock University — which brings additional cultural opportunities and business vitality to our community. The university sponsors a year-long performing arts series, the Kaleidoscope arts festival each spring, and many music, dance, theater and other arts events for visitors. Each year is punctuated by street fairs, parades, student jazz ensembles playing on sidewalks, and fun activities for all ages.

An important thing that’s happened in the last decade is there is a much greater awareness that the university and community are forever intertwined. The University’s approximately 1,000 faculty and staff and 8,000 students also are a source of both patrons for local businesses and potential employees.
