Plan your weekend with my weekly list of things to do around Harrisburg and central PA! Scroll down or use the menu links to find ideas for your weekend.
What’s inside:
Need something NEW to do? Holy smokes (this is how I talk now) there are a lot of festivals going on. Art & Wine in Mechanicsburg, Wish Upon a Food Truck on City Island, Fall Fests at Ashcombe and Gray Apple Market. I also wouldn’t sleep on Savor or Carlisle’s Champagne Stroll (do both?)
(Still) Worth noting: Check out my private Facebook community, Cheers Harrisburg. You can join the convo here.
Things on my agenda this weekend: Some combo of Market/Farm/Talking Breads. Bo starts swimming lessons; a friend’s wedding
