No matter what time of year you visit, there will likely be something going on in Lancaster. Bring an empty stomach to the Sertoma Chicken Barbecue, the world's largest chicken barbecue, held every August, sample the work of over 200 of the top artists and craftsmen in the U.S. at the Long's Park Arts and Crafts Festival in June, or enjoy the elaborate street parades and fireworks display held during the Fourth of July celebrations.
