Broad Street Market is a historic year-round public market in Harrisburg stocked with 25+ vendors spanning produce, fresh meats and seafood, baked goods, prepared foods from Puerto Rican to Nigerian to Korean cuisine, craft beverages, plants, and handmade goods. The vendor mix skews heavily toward food — expect cheesesteaks, rotisserie chicken, wood-fired pizza, sushi, pho, and tropical ice cream alongside coffee roasters and small-batch mead. Stone Building and tent stalls operate Wednesday through Saturday with staggered hours; most vendors open by 10am or earlier.

Held in Harrisburg at Central Dauphin High School, this free indoor craft show draws over 1,500 shoppers to browse nearly 175 crafters selling handmade jewelry, soaps, lotions, home décor, and specialty food items — no mass-produced or resold goods allowed.

All proceeds support the Central Dauphin High School Band Program.

Held in Harrisburg at River Front Park, Dauphin County Cultural Fest is a free celebration of regional diversity featuring live performances, craft vendors, ethnic food trucks, a children's corner with hands-on art activities, and programming from Dauphin County Human Services and youth services.

If you're selling ag-related products, equipment, or food, this is the scale event to know.
