Homecoming Season Brings Community Festivals, Harvest Bounty, And More
LANCASTER, PA – The warm summer nights have passed, and instead, the evening air is filled with a crisp chill and the sounds of crunching leaves underfoot. The farm fields that filled the area with a brilliant green all summer have now turned their autumn hues and produced mountains of farm-fresh produce. Local football games and community fairs become popular social events of the season. It’s homecoming season after all, and it’s the perfect time to “come home” to Pennsylvania Dutch Country and experience the traditions, the heritage, and the warm hospitality of the region.
Visitors experiencing Pennsylvania Dutch Country this autumn will find themselves immersed in Pennsylvania Dutch culture. Explore Landis Valley Museum for a look at the heritage of the Pennsylvania Germans who settled here more than 200 years ago. Discover the harvest bounty at farmers’ markets, ripe with the fresh goodies from local family farms. Mingle with local residents at any of the small community fairs and festivals that come alive during autumn evenings.
It’s that “right at home” feeling that’s so evident here in Pennsylvania Dutch Country that makes this homecoming season the perfect time to visit. Plan your very own homecoming celebration and bring the whole family to Pennsylvania Dutch Country for a fantastic autumn getaway – it’s the perfect site for a family reunion, school trip, or just a relaxing getaway.
