FOOD. FAMILY FUN. LOCAL COMMUNITY. AND A WHOLE LOT OF WISH MAGIC. Admission is FREE, along with many of the family-friendly activities!

The 10th Annual Wish Upon a Food Truck Festival is taking over the AACA Museum in Hershey on Saturday, September 12, and we’re celebrating 10 years with our biggest day of fun yet!

Come hungry and make a day of it with 13 food trucks, live music, local vendors, a petting zoo, bounce house, face painting, balloon twisting, kids activities, book readings, raffles, giveaways, Golden Tickets, special guests and so much more.

Bring the kids. Bring your friends. Bring the whole family. Grab something delicious, discover local businesses, enjoy the entertainment, and help us wrap up summer with a day that does some good, too.

Most importantly, it’s all in support of Make-A-Wish Philadelphia, Delaware & Susquehanna Valley, helping create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.

One day. One community. One incredible cause.

Print Crawl is a vibrant community arts event held in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. This engaging all ages gathering celebrates the art of printing while aiming to involve and inform the local community about the craft. Set in the heart of Lancaster a city known for its rich history and artistic spirit the Print Crawl brings together artists, print enthusiasts and people of all ages for an immersive experience.

Join Us!

The Print Crawl is a short walk around Lancaster where each participant will build and unveil this year’s artisan poster. YOU MUST RESERVE A BLANK POSTER TO PARTICIPATE IN THE CRAWL! You can purchase a poster in advance and show your receipt to pick up your poster the night of the crawl or you can purchase posters the night of the event. We don’t recommend this second option as we often sell out of posters ahead of time! If you purchase a 2026 t-shirt or tank top, you get a free poster to participate in the Crawl! Please note this is a rain or shine event. In case of rain we will have clear sleeves to put your poster in to protect them as you walk around town.

The Print Crawl occurs on the first Friday in September each year from 5-9pm. You will need to pick up your poster at the designated registration table in Ewell Plaza. Registration will open at 4pm, but print shops will open at 5pm. Your poster will come with a map to guide you to the print shops. Follow the map around downtown to each of the print shops to complete your poster. Stops include screen printing, letterpress printing, stamping, laser cutting riso, 3D printing and vinyl sticker graphics. The whole crawl is about 1 mile (one way) walking start to finish.

The event is set up as “pay-what-you-can” ranging from $0-$30 (buy your poster here) with the additional option of donating at FORCEpkg to our fundraisers the night of the event OR through our GoFundMe campaigns. The money generated from poster sales goes towards the event costs to ensure we are able to continue coordinating the Print Crawl each year. We also raise money for one graphic design student at Pennsylvania College of Art & Design (https://gofund.me/d465f14f) and one design/printing student at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology (https://gofund.me/9c06beb2). Donations go directly to whichever school you choose to support.

Join us on Saturday, May 2, from 12-6pm for the second day of festivities as the Stevens & Smith Center Grand Opening turns East Vine Street into a vibrant community block party. Local artists, musicians, and neighbors will enliven the avenue with creativity, energy, and good vibes, while families and friends can dive into hands-on activities and take advantage of complimentary timed entry to explore the Center. The event is free and open to the public, all are welcome!

n 2022, the City of Lancaster launched River Connections with the goal of elevating the stories of Black and Brown people’s connection to the Conestoga River. By storytelling through various mediums, the River Connections team cultivated a greater sense of stewardship and community around the river. Local artists created and performed works that represent their connection to the river to a broader audience. Through spoken word, visual art, film and music, the need for care and repair of the Conestoga River is spreading throughout Lancaster’s neighborhoods.

Enjoy hands on activites for adults and youth, and learn how Lancaster’s Combined Sewer System (CSS) effects our river and community. (Pavillion #2)
