Today, Benton is a small, thriving location with several attractions that make it a must-see. The annual Benton Frontier Days & Rodeo in mid-July is a six day extravaganza that draws crowds from near and far. The event offers Championship Rodeo, food, entertainment, a horse show, Bull-A- Rama, Barrel Racing, craft vendors, and much more. The Fishing Creek Antique and Specialty Shopping Trail begins in Benton and meanders down Fishing Creek toward Bloomsburg.  Locals enjoy the amazingly diverse offerings at the Northern Columbia Community anbd Cultural Center 9N4Cs).  They offer residents of Benton and the surrounding communities programs and opportunities relating to the arts, culture, and heritage of our area.    Ricketts Glen State Park is only a few miles further north of the borough, so nature enthusiasts heading to the State Park for the day may want to plan to also spend some time in Benton’s downtown.
