    The Lancaster music scene is on fire right now.

This month we’re talking about the Bad Saints Jazz Fest coming to West Art on October 3 & 4, The Wailers, also at West Art on Friday, September 18, and DC-based Oh He Dead at Lititz Shirt Factory on October 9. Also on the program is Music For Everyone (MFE) founder John Gerdy.

The purpose of the initiative is to create a strategic plan for investment in the arts over the next 20 years.

    What's Happening: Adam Grim & Jenn Knepper chatting about Lancaster Review and Gifts That Give Hope

    It’s Labor Day week and that means school is back in season, the days are getting a little shorter, and (hopefully) the weather will cool off just a bit in the coming weeks. On the program today we welcome Adam Grim from The Lancaster Review and Jenn Knepper from Gifts That Give Hope for a chat about a bunch of stuff happening around Lancaster County in September. Adam filled us in on what’s been happening at The Lancaster Review, a weekly newsletter and online local news page covering events and culture all around the county. He gave us a sneak peek at some stories he and his team are working on for upcoming issues. Adam will be a regular contributor on the show to keep us up to date on Lancaster county happenings and profiles of the characters that make up the cultural fabric of Lancaster. Gifts That Give Hope is an alternative gift fair where you can skip the Black Friday sales and put your money back into our local community through donations to area non-profits and purchasing goods from social conscience local vendors for the holidays. For its 19th year, the fair has been moved up this year to October 10 at 10am, instead of its usual schedule in late November or early December. Don’t miss it! September is going to be busy and beautiful. Be sure to get out and about in Lancaster County as we wind down summer and look forward to fairs, football, and sweater weather! - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: The Candy Factory (TCF)  https://clubtcf.com Chellas  https://eatchellas.com Lancaster Review  https://lancasterreview.com Chellas Arepa Kitchen  https://eatchellas.com Gifts That Give Hope Lancaster  https://giftsthatgivehopelancaster.org One World Festival  https://oneworldfestivallancaster.org Farm & Home Center (gift fair venue)  https://farmandhomecenter.org We want to hear from YOU!

We chatted about the abundance of events coordinated by the city for September, including Welcoming Week, a nationally recognized initiative that is coming to Lancaster through a celebration highlighting our diverse culture, neighborhoods, businesses, & residents. Among a ton of other events we chatted about the first Capital Day Festival, coming to Penn Square on Saturday, September 26, 2026. Speaking of September 26, it's shaking out to be one of the busier days of the month. Katherine shared that two arts festivals are also scheduled for that day in Lancaster County, including the Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Arts Show and Columbia's "Art in the Park" in the Locust Street Park. As always, the annual Labor Day arts festival at Long's Park is on tap this week along with another First Friday in downtown Lancaster, that has been a staple event in the city for over two decades.

    Lancaster's Food Truck Scene

    While digging into the Lancaster food truck scene, an interesting theme emerged. The owners of food trucks, and there are many in Lancaster and the surrounding areas, don’t see each other primarily as competition, but more as part of a collective of sorts. Food trucks can’t be at more than one event at a time, so trucks of similar items find themselves referring each other to events, and trucks with complementary items find themselves at the same events and provide snacks for each other. I loved hearing about this sense of collaboration in the local food truck scene. Danielle Landis, from Lickity Split and W Donuts, is a 20 year veteran of the scene who helps organize food truck festivals around the region. Danielle joined me in the So Good Media studio to chat about the ups and downs of working a truck, the camaraderie of the owners, and a few of the annual food truck festivals to enjoy. Cameos in this episode include David Hiester from W Donuts and Nathan Claycomb from Joe on the Go Coffee Co. recording during previous interviews for the podcast. Our So Good Music feature is “Oh Jeanine” by Sun Not Yellow, including a chat with songwriter and front man Jesse Barki. - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: Lickity Split W Donuts Joe on the Go Coffee Co.

    Community Through Women's Sports

    I had the opportunity to learn about the Dutchland Derby Rollers and the Thorns Rugby Club at the Stuff To Do Fair back in January. While I had heard of the Rollers over the years, I had no idea there was a women’s adult rugby club here in Lancaster. Curious, I started digging into these two teams and quickly began to realize that these types of adult sports serve a much bigger purpose than scoring points and claiming bragging rights. They form friendships, provide opportunities for learning new skills, and build community. Through these two teams I was introduced to our very own women’s ice hockey team, the Lancaster Reapers. It turns out that this trio of adult women’s sports teams recently formed an informal collaborative alliance to help each other spread the word, grow attendance and interest, and even fundraise together. I wanted to learn more, so I welcomed Diosanny Rivera from the Dutchland Derby Rollers, Kelly Leibolt and Zimmy from Lancaster Reapers, and Alex Tarleton and Eva Dombrowski from the Knightmare and Thorns Ruby Clubs to the program to talk about their respective sports and teams, and find out why these kinds of teams are important. - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: Dutchland Derby Rollers Lancaster Reapers Thorns Rugby We want to hear from YOU!

    Conestoga River of the Year

    Lancaster County’s Conestoga River is Pennsylvania’s 2026 River of the Year!  The River of the Year award honors a Pennsylvania waterway, raising awareness and recognizing conservation achievements by those who care for these awesome resources. It’s administered by the Pennsylvania Organization for Watersheds and Rivers (POWR) and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR). “This once-polluted river is an example of what can happen when we prioritize clean, healthy waterways. Its transformation has made the Conestoga a hub for outdoor recreation, providing a boost to the region and demonstrating that rivers build thriving communities.” -  DCNR Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn. So, who are the primary stewards of this Lancaster County waterway? The Conestoga River Club. On this episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of talking about the Conestoga River with Conestoga River Club Executive Director Malinda Harnish Clatterbuck and club board member Steve Carlson. - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: Conestoga River Club 2026 River of the Year Department of Conservation and Natural Resources We want to hear from YOU!

    Lancaster Fringe Fest

    Fringe festivals began back in 1947 when the International Festival of Music and Drama was planned in a post-war Edinburgh, Scotland. Eight Edinburgh theatre companies were left out, but decided to book their own festival in smaller, alternative venues around the city. Without an official connection to the larger festival, the acts performing on the fringe could be more open, accessible, and experimental in nature. In the decades that followed, the idea of performing in alternative and found spaces spread and fringe festivals began popping up around the globe. While Philadelphia has been hosting a large fringe festival (over 300 acts in 2025) each September, and our closer neighbors, York and Harrisburg, have been hosting their version of the festival for many years, Lancaster has never had its own…until now. Lancaster Fringe Fest founders Caleb Corkery and Frith Rooney joined me on the program to talk about the inaugural Lancaster Fringe Festival, coming to Lancaster City on from May 21 through May 24, 2026. The festival will include forty performances across twenty venues plus street performances all around the city. Learn more about the festival at LancasterFringeFest.org or on Instagram and Facebook. Our So Good Music feature is “Good Ghost Goodbye” by Lancaster ambient, electronic, and atmospheric pop artist Dean Thomas. Stay ’til the end of the episode for a quick chat and to hear the full track. - Jason (all of these words came from my brain) Links: LancasterFringeFest.org Dean Thomas We want to hear from YOU!

    Stuff To Do Fair 2026 Part II

    It’s the second in our two-episode coverage of the Stuff To Do Fair 2026. The fair went down in the gymnasium at Washington Elementary school in Lancaster, PA on a freezing Saturday, January 31, 2026. The gym was filled with over 50 organizations, clubs, and businesses that provide entertainment, hobbies, activities, lessons, and a ton of other “stuff to do” right here in Lancaster County. Organized by Sav Thorpe Capizzi and state representative Izzy Smith Wade-El, this 2nd (annual) Stuff To Do Fair welcomed over 500 residents who braved the cold to come together to chat, share, and ultimately be in community with each other, learning about a bunch of what there is to do in Lancaster County. We were there representing The Candy Factory coworking + social club and So Good Lancaster with mic in hand, interviewing just a fraction of the vendors who were representing. Check out the previous episode of the program to hear the first part of this two-part series.
