Produced by VisitErie, the official destination marketing organization for Erie County, the annual Erie Visitor Guide remains a vital resource for travelers planning a visit to the region. For the first time, the guide is organized by season: spring, summer, fall, and winter, each section featuring curated articles, striking photography, and timely highlights. From “What’s New” features and seasonal food spotlights to can’t-miss events and insider tips, the guide showcases Erie as a true four-season destination.
The 80-page guide serves as VisitErie’s primary promotional tool, designed to market Erie County’s tourism assets and inspire travel to Pennsylvania’s only Great Lakes port city. The guide is available free in both print and digital formats.
