Town traditions
For a town gathering, browse the Town of Harrisburg’s events calendar rather than relying on a past festival schedule. Confirm the event location and details with the organizer.
A good ordinary weekend
Start with a walk at Pharr Mill Park, stop for a casual meal near the town center, or spend an afternoon at Harrisburg Park. The nearby Concord and University City areas widen the choices for shopping, entertainment and sports.
