July 4th Food Truck Festival

Several live bands in a variety of genres will perform throughout the day at the Music Stage located near State Street. See below for the 2025 schedule.

12-1PM                Tanjo & Crow
A no-holds-barred exploration of roots music through eclectic songwriting, Appalachian arrangements, and seemingly fearless improvisation. The project draws upon the diverse musical backgrounds of Tanner Bingaman (guitar, banjo, vocals) and Allan Combs II (guitar, vocals). Tanjo & Crow are an experience you don’t want to miss.

1:30-2:30PM        Deep Space 90's
A five-piece, 90s tribute band, based out of Lancaster, PA. They prided themselves in bringing a party to any venue they attend and keeping their show true to the 1990s.

3-4PM                  Dustin Douglas & the Electric Gentlemen
This band brings a dynamic, heavy, swagger- injected, sexy & dirty, blues-influenced rock n’ roll brings vintage sound and vibe to modern ears. They command the stage with virtuosic musicianship and classic-rock spirit mixed with punk rock attitude that leaves even the most discerning music fans falling in love with their style at the end of any live show.

4:30-5:30PM        Big Fat Meanies
Enjoy a high octane dose of horn driven powerpop. This Lancaster rock band provides a gut punch of danceable energy with each explosive performance.

6-7PM                   The "Original" Moonlighters
With an extensive repertoire consisting of over 400 hits covering all the decades, The "Original" Moonlighters are one of today's premier Motown bands. Just close your eyes and you'll swear that the original artists are performing. But don't close them for too long or you'll miss out on the band's outstanding showmanship!
