LANCASTER − It was a little wet, but rain couldn’t stop the 2026 ArtWalk downtown presented by Destination Downtown Lancaster and the Lancaster Festival on July 17.
The annual event features art, music, food and more on Main Street. Numerous businesses stay open late and allow artists to show their work.
ArtWalk started at 6 p.m. and the rain started around 6:20. Some people popped open umbrellas and other stood under awnings of downtown businesses. When the rain let up about 30 minutes or so later, the street party picked up again.
