The Heart of the Valley’s Summer: A Chat with Anya Petrova
Archyde News: Anya, thanks for being here. To kick things off, can you give us your general take on this summer’s event lineup? What are you most excited about?
Anya Petrova: Thanks for having me! This summer is shaping up to be fantastic. I’m seeing a real emphasis on celebrating local culture and supporting small businesses. The variety is just incredible, from the established festivals drawing big crowds to smaller, more intimate gatherings highlighting regional talent. Personally, I’m most excited about the resurgence of outdoor concerts; there seems to be one every weekend!
Archyde News: It certainly sounds promising. Many people are heading to events like the music festivals in Youngstown, but what advice would you give to someone who maybe *isn’t* as familiar with the Mahoning Valley’s event scene but wants to explore what’s on offer?
Anya Petrova: My biggest piece of advice? Be curious! Check out everything. Start with the big events everyone knows, like the Canfield Fair, but then dig a little deeper. Explore the smaller community events,farmers markets,and local art shows. One great place to look for events is the Archyde website or your favourite local social media pages. That way, you’ll find yourself discovering things you might never have known about.
Archyde News: Absolutely. And speaking of community, often, these events are about more than just entertainment; they help build relationships and support local business. How do you see that playing out in the events you’re following?
Anya Petrova: That’s a great point. Events are vital for the local economy. They give local businesses a platform, from food vendors at the festivals to musicians at the concerts. They create a sense of community and boost economic activity. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.
Archyde News: What are some of the *must-attend* events, personally, that you would recommend for someone to experience the best of what the Valley has to offer?
Anya Petrova: That’s difficult to answer, of course, but some recurring favorites: the Youngstown Beer Fest is always great for a fun night, the Mill Creek MetroParks concerts are beautiful, the Summer Festival in Boardman should be filled with excitement, and anything held by the Arts & Craft businesses.
Archyde news: Excellent suggestions! Thank you so much for your insights and experience. Before we let you go, what’s one thing you hope to see flourish in the Mahoning Valley events scene in the coming years? What would make it even better?
Anya Petrova: I’d love to see more collaboration between different organizations and a greater push for sustainability at events. Imagine partnerships that bring in more diverse events and reduce environmental impact. Ultimately, I just want everyone to find something to do, have great experiences, and make new life-long memories right here in the Valley. We are a great place to live!
