Lancaster Pride 2025

**I’m grateful to return to pride for another year as a vendor! I’ll be doing henna tattoos and brings my vibrant art along for the day! :)**

Lancaster Pride has seen our hometown festival attendance increase by thousands over the last several years. We have seen hundreds of vendors, dozens of performers, magical moments, and venue changes due to the sheer size of the turnout. As we grow, we must honor our humble beginnings, not just as a county but as a community bonded in history. 

Please join us as we celebrate our past and future on June 28th, 2025, at the Lancaster Pride Festival!

River Connections Community Gathering

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)

Bring a chair and enjoy an afternoon by the river!
