Halloween may be a distant memory by the time the 2024 UCA Harrisburg Regional heads to the PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Nov. 16, but the scent of chocolate still will be in the air – along with the sweet smell of success for some competitors.

The host venue is about 18 miles from the famed Hersheypark, the largest amusement park in the Quaker State, so it offers the perfect way to celebrate a win or a delicious way to forget about the day on stage. 

The Harrisburg Regional is one of almost 50 regional events facilitated across the country each year by the Universal Cheerleaders Association, along with the annual UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida.

Enjoy complete coverage of the 2024 UCA Harrisburg Regional, a one-day event, as teams go head-to-head with their sights set on a coveted championship and potentially earning spots in the UCA National High School Cheerleading Championship in February 2025.

What To Know About The PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center 

The PA Farm Show Complex & Expo Center may be known for hosting agricultural shows, but it can be adapted and transformed to fit any type of event, from cheerleading to car shows, sporting events, conventions, and more – over 200 events each year.

In 2024, the facility will welcome the 2024 UCA Harrisburg Regional. Some competitors may be familiar with the venue and the area because it hosted the UCA Harrisburg Regional in 2023 and AmeriCheer’s Hershey Open Nationals in April 2024.

The property features more than 1 million square feet of indoor floor space across 11 halls and three arenas. There also are nearly 9,000 parking spaces, so don’t be shy about heading over to watch the Harrisburg Regional in person. 

All of that is the result of a $76 million expansion and renovation that began in 2001. The venue’s main Farm Show now attracts almost 600,000 visitors during its eight-day run of animals, educational experiences, displays, food, family, and fun. 

The 2025 edition of the PA Farm Show will take place Jan. 4-11.
