Calling all coffee lovers—a caffeine-packed event is headed your way.
Capital Rebirth Inc. and Friends of Midtown will host “Star City Coffee and Arts Festival” to showcase local coffee shops, artists and yoga studios on Sept. 3 in Midtown, Harrisburg.
“Our hope is that people really come out and engage,” said Madeline Williams of nonprofit Capital Rebirth. “It’s a great way to support art and to support local businesses.”
The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at 4th and Reily streets. Harrisburg-based Elementary Coffee Co., Good Brotha’s Book Café and Little Amps plan to participate, along with Elizabethtown’s mobile coffee shop Hitch Coffee.
Harrisburg artists Bryan “King Prolifik” Hickman and artist Vivian Sterste will lead paint sessions. Three yoga sessions will be led by Lisa Oplinger of Evolution Power Yoga, April Ashe of Unbottled Expressionz and Erika Malorzo of CommUNITY Yoga Space. Art and yoga sessions are pay-what-you-can and will be filled on a first-come-first-served basis.
Other local vendors will be on site, selling food and art, among other products.
Admission to the event is free.
“The purpose of Star City Coffee and Arts Festival is to celebrate the diverse and exciting coffee and art cultures throughout the central PA region,” Williams said. “It is also an opportunity to engage residents with local businesses they might not have known about otherwise.”
