The Week that Was: News and features around Harrisburg

October 24, 2025 | by Lawrance Binda and Maddie Gittens

Harrisburg and local officials ceremonially broke ground on the “Coronet Park” project downtown.

We want to take a second to thank our readers for your support. Whether you’ve been reading TheBurg since the beginning or just discovered us, we are thankful for you! Keep on reading below for our news coverage from this week.

Harristown Development Co. shared its plans for “Coronet Park,” our online story reported. The company will build a park for events and concerts in an empty lot just off Market Square on S. 2nd Street.

Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra is launching its 2025-26 season with a full schedule of concerts, our magazine story reported. There is something for all musical tastes in the Masterworks Series of shows, our writer says.

Lewis Butts Jr. announced his write-in campaign for mayor of Harrisburg, our story reported. Butts ran for the Democratic nomination in the primary, but was unsuccessful.

Midstate Shows announced its first show for the 2026 Dauphin County Live Concert Series, our online story reported. Alt-indie band Rainbow Kitten Surprise will take the stage in Riverfront Park on Sept. 15.

Midtown Cinema is showing “It Was Just an Accident,” by Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi this month. Find out more about the movie, in our column.

PennDOT announced that it had reopened the 29^th Street Bridge and would soon close the 19^th Street Bridge for reconstruction, our online story reported. The work on both Harrisburg bridges is part of the I-83 Capital Beltway project.

QuisQueya Grill & Delights recently opened in Harrisburg, with a store and neighboring food truck, our magazine story reported. The husband-and-wife team cook up Dominican and New York-style eats.

Rosemary’s one-pot roast chicken is the perfect fall dish. In her column, find the recipe for the easy, yet delicious meal.

Sara Bozich has compiled a list of all of this weekend’s top events, in her Weekend Roundup.

Voters in Harrisburg are still undecided on which mayoral candidate to vote for, our reporting found. Many told TheBurg that they didn’t plan to vote or didn’t know who the candidates were, while a few knew who they supported.
