Every Tuesday from 3-7 p.m., Market on Market brings together local farms, food makers, bakers, artisans, and neighbors for a weekly gathering that’s become a summertime staple in Camp Hill.

If you’re looking for a reason to get out of the house this week, here’s exactly how I’d spend a Tuesday at the market.

First, take a lap.

One of the best parts of Market on Market is discovering what catches your eye each week. Maybe it’s fresh produce from Tuckey’s Orchard or Beshore Hill Farms. Maybe it’s mushrooms from Bennett Run Mushrooms, flowers from Little Swatara Creek Flowers, a loaf from Heritage Bakery, or a jar of preserves from Amy and Steve’s.

This week also marks the return of Kimchee Girl for her first market of the 2026 season, bringing her popular kimchee and Korean specialties back to Camp Hill.

Then grab something for later.

Whether you’re stocking up on local pantry staples, picking up a sweet treat from Sweet Temptations, browsing vegan options from Plants in the Cloud, or selecting a bottle from Castlerigg Wine Shop or Elder’s Cut Meadery, there’s no shortage of ways to support local businesses while filling your basket.

And don’t forget the raffle.

Throughout June, shoppers can earn a raffle ticket simply by showing a market purchase at the Market tent. You can earn one ticket each week, with up to six entries available throughout the month.

This week, there’s an extra incentive: mention the secret phrase, “strawberry shortcake,” at the Market tent and receive a bonus raffle ticket.

Market on Market’s compost program is also officially open for the season. Bring your food scraps to the compost station and help support the market’s sustainability efforts while reducing waste.

Don’t Miss the Special Saturday Market

In addition to the regular Tuesday market, Downtown Camp Hill Association will host a special Saturday Market this Sunday, June 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the Plein Air Festival.

The smaller, curated market will offer additional opportunities to shop local, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the festival atmosphere throughout downtown Camp Hill.

From murals and public art to theaters, galleries, live music venues, and cultural institutions, the city offers a rich creative landscape packed into a highly walkable downtown.

Now, new resources are making it easier than ever to explore.

What’s new with the Harrisburg Arts District

Visit Hershey & Harrisburg recently unveiled updated Harrisburg Arts District materials, including a redesigned printed map and a new interactive audio walking tour available through the Harrisburg Arts District app.

The updates reflect several changes to the city’s cultural landscape in recent years. New additions include Coronet Park and Capital City Music Hall, along with expanded coverage of Riverfront Park’s monuments, gardens, and historic points of interest. The resources now showcase more than 50 murals and monuments, as well as more than 20 theaters, museums, galleries, and performance venues throughout the district.

The new audio tour goes a step further, offering stories behind the art, architecture, artists, sculptors, and historical moments that have helped shape Harrisburg over time.

As conversations continue around downtown revitalization and economic development, these updates serve as a reminder that Harrisburg’s cultural assets are not a future goal — they’re already here.

Why this matters

For decades, public art, local theaters, music venues, festivals, and community organizations have helped define the character of the city. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or have lived in the region your entire life, there’s always something new to discover by slowing down and looking a little closer.

The Harrisburg Arts District was originally established to connect and promote the city’s arts and cultural destinations, helping residents and visitors navigate everything from murals and museums to performances and public spaces. These updated tools continue that mission while highlighting how much the district has grown.

If you’re planning a day in the city this summer, consider downloading the free app, following one of the walking tours, and exploring a few places you’ve never visited before.

Learn more and download the app at hbgartsdist.com. Plus, you can always get event updates every week in The Weekend Roundup. Sign up here.

Guests will enjoy:

• Hors d’oeuvres and cocktails
• A signature themed drink

From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., artists will pop-up along Market Street, capturing the borough in real time during the plein air event and “Quick Draw” competition, where participating artists create original works live in just two hours using Downtown Camp Hill as inspiration.

If you’ve never experienced plein air painting before, this is your chance to watch art happen in real time while strolling one of the area’s most walkable downtown districts.

What to Expect

The Plein Air & Art Walk blends live art, local businesses, music, makers, and family-friendly activities throughout Downtown Camp Hill.

Highlights include:

• Live plein air painting throughout Market Street
• Quick Draw competition and afternoon awards
• Live music from Shine Delphi at the DCHA booth outside of Blooms
• A community paint-by-number mural created by the DCHA Promotions Committee
• A bloom bar where guests can create their own bouquet
• Glitter tattoos and appearances by the Cotton Cart
• Makers and artisans set up throughout downtown
• Market on Market at Trinity Lutheran Church open during the event

There’s also a strong student art component this year. An art walk through Willow Park will showcase artwork created during the recent sixth grade Canadensis trip alongside additional work from local middle and high school students.

Participating artists are also being invited to paint a “Camp Hill door” inspired by homes and architecture throughout the borough, with hopes of creating a future “Doors of Camp Hill” poster featuring the collection.

Make a Day of It

This event is best explored as a leisurely stroll.

Grab coffee, wander Market Street, pop into shops you haven’t visited in a while, watch artists working throughout town, and spend a little extra time outside before summer schedules fully take over.

Downtown Camp Hill continues to quietly build the kind of downtown people say they want: walkable, local, community-centered, and full of small businesses worth supporting.

These events are a big part of that.

I’m teaming up with BAPS Motor Speedway to give away tickets to one of the most talked-about race nights of the summer: the Eagle Air Aviation $5 Keystone Nationals on Sunday, June 7.

Yes, tickets to the event are only $5, which feels almost impossible in 2026. But the speedway is going all-in on making this a huge experience for longtime fans and first-timers (is that you?).

The night will feature:

• 410 Sprint Cars
• Superior Homes Extreme Stocks
• Fireworks
• Live music from That’s What She Said
• Driver autograph sessions
• More fan activities throughout the evening

If you’ve never been to BAPS before, this is absolutely the night to try it.

There’s a reason people are buzzing about this event — and well beyond Central PA. Fans from across the Northeast are already buying tickets, and drivers themselves are calling this kind of promotion “the future of the sport.”

I love this because it’s an affordable summer event. You can bring your family, your friend group, your kids, or someone who’s never been to a race before and just go.

The atmosphere at BAPS is always surprisingly fun and welcoming, especially in the summer. It’s loud, exciting, family-friendly, and one of those experiences that feels very Central PA in the best possible way.

Proudly PA! returns to Fort Hunter Park with a full day dedicated to celebrating the best of Pennsylvania: live music, local food and drink, artisan vendors, and an atmosphere that somehow feels both relaxed and lively at the same time.

Take it from me: this year’s music lineup is really good.

The festival features all Pennsylvania artists, including Low Cut Connie (!!), Snacktime, The Circa 68, The Wild Hymns, and more, bringing everything from rock-and-roll energy to soulful grooves and indie sounds to the M&T Bank Main Stage and Corncrib Stage.

Beyond the music, Proudly PA! has become a true showcase of the commonwealth itself. You’ll find local food trucks and vendors, Pennsylvania-made wine, craft beer, and spirits, artisan makers, and plenty of space to spread out with friends for the afternoon. Each guest also receives a Proudly PA! souvenir glass with admission.

It’s an easy afternoon to relax and soak in the sounds. Bring a chair or blanket, wander between the stage and vendors, grab something local to eat and drink, and settle into a summer day along the Susquehanna.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this is one of the most unexpectedly fun nights out in our region. It’s loud, it’s fast, it’s a little gritty in the best way, and it’s way more approachable than you may think.

This season, BAPS is making it easier (and more fun) than ever to show up.

Here are the three events worth circling right now:

$5 Keystone Nationals at BAPS | Sunday, June 7

Let’s start with the one that’s getting serious buzz.

A full night of racing… for $5.

No catch.

The $5 Keystone Nationals is bringing 410 Sprint Cars and Extreme Stocks to the track for less than the cost of your morning coffee — something we haven’t seen around here in decades.

This is one of those “just go” events. Bring your friends, bring your kids, bring the people who always say they’ve never been to a race. This is exactly who it’s for.

Even drivers are calling this one out as a big moment for the sport:

“It’s huge. It’s the future of our sport… the more newer fans we can bring in, the better for everyone.” — Tyler Ross

“New fans are needed for the survival of the sport we all love.” — Chad Trout

“Getting folks physically to the track can make an incredible difference.” — Chase Dietz

You get the idea. This is a push to bring new energy into the stands.

Pro tip: Buy your tickets online. You’ll get into the grandstands two hours early, which means more time to explore, grab food, and settle in before the racing starts.

PA Speedweek at BAPS | Sunday, June 28

If you want to see Central PA racing culture at its peak, this is it.

PA Speedweek is a summer sprint car tradition — and when it hits BAPS, you’re getting some of the best drivers in the region going all out.

On the lineup:

• 410 Sprint Cars (the PA Posse)
• Super Sportsman

This one feels a little more “insider,” but don’t let that scare you off. Even if you don’t know every name, you’ll feel the energy immediately (plus, you’ll learn quickly).

It’s fast, competitive, and the crowd shows up for it.

Again, get those tickets online in advance, and you’ll score grandstand access one hour before showtime.

World of Outlaws at BAPS (Bricker’s French Fries Bash) | Tuesday, July 29

This is the big one.

The World of Outlaws Sprint Cars are coming to York Haven — and if you’re even a little curious about racing, this is the night to go.

After a 31-year hiatus, World of Outlaws returned to BAPS Motor Speedway in 2023. Since then, it has solidified its place where you can see the Pennsylvania Posse (yep, them again!) takes on the World of Outlaws. It’s a 30-lap race, and the winner takes home $12,000!

This is more than local talent, it’s a national-level competition, and it brings a whole different level of intensity to the track.

Expect:

• Packed stands
• Top-tier drivers
• One of the most exciting race nights of the season

If you’ve been waiting for a reason to check out BAPS, this is it. Learn more about what to expect here.

Tickets for this one: worldofoutlaws.com

Why BAPS Is Worth Your Time This Summer

If you’re looking for something new, affordable, and accessible to try with the family this year, get yourself to BAPS.

It’s an easy, fun night out that feels different from your usual plans. Plus:

• Free parking
• Family-friendly pricing (kids under 12 are free, students are just $5)
• Bring your own cooler setup (no glass, please, but yes – BYOB!)
• Food trucks and local vendors
• No pressure, no pretense — just show up and enjoy it

Make This Your Summer to Try It

Between the $5 Keystone Nationals, Speedweek, and the World of Outlaws, you’ve got three totally different ways to experience BAPS this season. Not to mention weekly racing, family-friendly events throughout the summer, and much more.

Pick one — or go all in and make a few nights of it.

Either way, don’t sleep on this.

Because once you go, you’ll get it.

When this (inevitably) happens – and the calendar isn’t relenting – it’s time to schedule some daytime fun for her at Greenlin Pet Resorts.

We’ve been taking Ellie to Greenlin for a while now, and it’s felt easy from the start. Ellie practically drags me through the door when we pull into the Harrisburg location on Cameron Street, and if you’ve ever had a nervous dog, you know how much that says.

The Harrisburg location is super convenient for anyone who works downtown or commutes through the area, and the daycare program has become a lifesaver on busy weeks.

Why We Love Greenlin Daycare

A few things stand out for me:

• Huge outdoor play areas
• Staff who genuinely come to know and love the dogs
• Flexible options for busy schedules
• Enrichment and socialization throughout the day
• Convenient location just minutes from downtown Harrisburg

Whether you work long hours, have a high-energy dog, need a break during busy summer schedules, or just want your pup to have more stimulation during the week, daycare can make a huge difference.

The dogs get tons of outdoor play time, attention, socialization, and activity throughout the day. Ellie comes home exhausted in the absolute best way.

I’m proud to partner with Greenlin Pet Resorts to share this life hack!

Win a Weeklong Daycare Punch Card

One reader will win a weeklong daycare punch card to the Harrisburg location of Greenlin Pet Resorts.

Perfect for:

• high-energy dogs
• social dogs
• workday guilt
• summer schedule chaos
• anyone whose dog stares at them during Zoom calls all day
