ABOUT
About the Univest Performance Center

A large factor of the unique experience is the strong support from the community. From the team of over 90 friendly volunteers, the local food and alcohol vendors, and the dedicated sponsors, every part of the venue reflects the energy and passion of the attendees. This sense of community pride ensures every visit to the Univest Performance Center unforgettable.
