Festival attendees watch a performance at a past year’s Cultural Fest.
Music, food and dance from around the world will return to Harrisburg this weekend.
On Saturday, Aug. 19, Dauphin County will host its annual Cultural Fest in Harrisburg’s Riverfront Park to celebrate and showcase diversity.
The free event will offer a lineup of local and national musical and dance performers, from 3 to 10:15 p.m. Stokley, a GRAMMY-nominated former lead vocalist for Mint Condition, will perform, as well as DJ Kool and Adrian Anthony Groupo Hipnosis, among others.
Additionally, small business and craft vendors, as well as human resources and professional development providers, will be on site. There will also be a Children’s Corner with activities for families, from 3 to 7 p.m.
Visitors can try flavors from around the globe at a variety of food trucks that will offer a range of ethnic cuisines.
The riverfront location is new for the festival this year, as it has been held on City Island in recent years and, before that, on a downtown street. This is the 15th year that the county has hosted the Cultural Fest.
Large bags and umbrellas are prohibited at the event, including backpacks, large purses, clear bags, fanny packs, camera bags, drawstring bags, totes and suitcases.
Attendees can use the ParkMobile app to pay for parking and use the code “LUVHBG” at checkout for four hours of free parking on Saturday. Free parking is also available on City Island on Saturday.
