Cultural Fest

The Dauphin County Commissioners and the County’s Cultural Celebration Task Force extend a warm invitation to a FREE, open-air festival celebrating cultural diversity in Dauphin County. Sponsored by Capital Blue Cross, this event will bring together our region’s diversity and cultures to celebrate and increase awareness of our vast differences and commonalities.

The festival held at Riverfront Park in Harrisburg and will offer strolling performances, featured entertainers, ethnic food trucks, craft vendors, Dauphin County Human Services, Systems of Care Youth Fest, Professional Development, Sports & Games, Children’s Corner, and more. Cultural Fest seeks to engage and connect families and communities to enjoy a day of entertainment, food, and fun while gaining connections to human resources and opportunities.

This is a FREE event, but bring along some spending money to shop with the vendors and enjoy ethnic foods from a variety of food trucks. Bring your lawn chairs.

Hosted by the Dauphin County Department of Drug and Alcohol Services and the Department of Children and Youth Services, the Children’s Corner runs from 3 PM to 7 PM with a focus on healthy outdoor activities and the spirit of teamwork for children ages 2 through 12.

The theme of this year’s Children’s Corner is Stop. Collaborate. And Listen.

This phrase is more than reinvigorating a 90s hit. As a community, we often find ourselves moving about our own tasks and goals without stopping to listen to what others have to offer and working together. This area will remind us to stop our usual routines, collaborate with one another, and listen to the experiences and expertise others have to offer.
