The City of Lancaster Office of Promotion, Lancaster City Alliance, and Music for Everyone are sponsoring roaming entertainment including Big Boy Brass and local holiday carolers! Lancaster Shops Late emerged through the suggestion of artist Loryn Spangler Jones of LSJ Studios. She grew up in a town that held a late-night shopping event every holiday season. We’re thankful for her idea and enthusiasm in making Shops Late happen in Lancaster City!
