Summer Snow Day August 8th
The Northeast’s biggest Summer Rail Jam & Apres Party is back in PA’s Susquehanna River Valley — and it’s got more heart than ever.
Join us at the new Gilson factory in Selinsgrove, PA for Summer Snow Day 2026, where we’ll be throwing down on REAL SNOW in the middle of August! Enjoy free beer, wine, cider, and spirits, jam out to sweet tunes, shred the summer rail jam, and fuel up with eats from some of the region’s best food trucks.
