Lancaster City — the word is getting out that we have a downtown at all, and that it's historic yet hip, in enticing contrast to the surrounding Amish countryside for which we've long been known.
Downtown Lancaster also plays host to several special events during the year, as well as monthly First Fridays showcasing our arts community and Music Fridays on the third Friday evening May to September.
You won't find such a breadth & diversity of quality arts anywhere else in a single downtown space in PA between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. These organizations are the pillars of our arts community and provide the infrastructure around which the galleries and everything else in the arts has developed.
