Join us for our annual celebration of Lancaster City’s vibrant residents and cultures. Featuring dozens of food trucks, live music, family entertainment, and more

On Friday, August 14th from 2:00pm to 5:00pm, drop off your stuffed animal or favorite toy at the front desk of the Chester County History Center.* We’ll take them on an adventure through our museum, even into the secret spaces that the public is usually not allowed to go! Don’t worry about missing anything; we’ll share pictures of every adventure through email, so you can check in with your friend and see what they’re up to. At 7:00PM, after we’ve tucked the stuffies into bed, we’ll read them a bedtime story that you can join in by Zoom to read along with us! This is a wonderful opportunity to introduce little ones to the joy of reuniting after a short period of separation. On Saturday, August 15th from 10:00am to 1:00pm, come pick up your friend and enjoy a scrapbooking craft of their adventures. The scrapbooking craft runs continuously, so your family can visit anytime between 10:00am to 1:00pm and still get the full experience! Tickets are $10.00 per stuffed animal, and include admission for one child and one parent or guardian for the Saturday craft activity, with access to the entire museum for the day. Additional adults and children may purchase regular admission at the door for museum admission. Reserve Your Tickets Members of CCHC receive a 50% discount using the special member code!
