The AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival dates back to 1989 when Heritage Johnstown partnered with community groups to launch the year-long centennial commemoration of the Great Johnstown Flood of 1889; the celebration consisted of a large street fair in the historic Cambria City neighborhood.
After a successful event, Heritage Johnstown, city and commonwealth officials kicked off a National Folk Festival Johnstown in 1990 for a three-year run in Cambria City over Labor Day weekend.
In 1994, this event became the AmeriServ Johnstown FolkFest, when AmerServ Financial became the event’s title sponsor. In 2009, the festival was renamed the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival and since 2010, the festival has been held in late summer.
In 2012, with the help of a $2 million grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a gift from Peoples Natural Gas, Peoples Natural Gas Park was developed. The park, home to the festival, includes a pavilion stage, the Community Foundation Oilhouse, electricity and internet service.
