Holiday Events in York, Pennsylvania

Story by Michael Vyskocil for YRK Magazine

No matter how many festivals and events York hosts during the spring, summer and fall, holiday events in York, Pennsylvania, can’t be overlooked.

From seasonal musical performances to unique holiday shopping experiences and traditions such as Light Up York, York is home to more gifts than anything you could physically buy. Perhaps the best gift is simply sharing the experience of being in downtown York during the holidays.

Discover some of YRK‘s favorite events happening throughout the holiday season.
