The tourism websites have complete lists of events and seasonal activities.  However, we wanted to highlight several that are in our neighboring towns.  If you are interested in any of these events, we can supply you with more information.

• Fridays:  There are Friday celebrations in various towns throughout Lancaster every week.  Every First Friday of the month, Gallery Row on Prince Street in downtown Lancaster has special features.  On Second Fridays, Lititz has musicians, artists, and other entertainment and the shops stay open late (5-9pm).  Ephrata has Third Friday Events.  Mount Joy and also sometimes Columbia and Marietta have Fourth Fridays.  You’re out of luck if you happen to visit on that occasional Fifth Friday—sorry!
