The Borough of Bellefonte consists of a variety of geographical differences ranging from rural farming communities to Victorian style homes. With a population of just over 22,000 Bellefonte offers the charm of a Victorian community with rural surroundings. Bellefonte is expected to grow even larger upon completion of the new Interstate 99, which will increase travel to surrounding cities of State College and Altoona. The addition of Interstate 99 has sparked the growth of many new housing developments across the area. Bellefonte is also focused on community activities including the Victorian Christmas Celebration in December, Bellefonte Arts Festival in August, and the Bellefonte Cruise car show, which takes place every Fathers Day weekend.
