YORKFEST 

A celebration of York City scheduled to coincide with York Arts Week. Music, food, arts, activities, all the good stuff. A chance to pull our neighborhoods and communities together, then send them off to celebrate in their own welcoming ways. It’s our chance to show everyone what we got.

​

Save the date for Saturday, Aug. 24 as we host Summer Art Markets across downtown York to help kick off York Arts Week! Spots for vendors will open for local and regional artists to be a part of the markets in Cherry Lane and Royal Square. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Also happening at the same time are:
