November 14, 2025Kick Off the Holiday Season: Upcoming Events in Lancaster

This series of dinners will be limited to 24 people & will feature a different theme each month. The vision is to pay homage to the dining salons of Washington, DC where a group of individuals brought people together over a meal to meet, share thoughts & ideas.

In this spirit, we will seat parties with other parties & offer the meal family-style. This will allow and encourage conversation & interaction with the common understanding and love for food and culture.

Join us for our 13th year of Art4Everyone! Over 300 4″x4″ panels of original art created by over 40 artists, all selling for $50 each. Get ready to immerse yourself in a world of creativity and inspiration. Collect and create your own grid at home! Or perhaps find that perfect gift for that special someone! Either way, this is the most fun day of the year at Red Raven!

The 1989 American holiday slapstick comedy is the perfect way to end a day of shopping and sightseeing in Downtown Lancaster starting with Madcap & Co. (310 N. Queen St.), where you can receive a half-off drink ticket for the 7 pm showing at Zoetropolis Cinema Stillhouse (112 N. Water St.).

This month we are partnering with Arch Street Center, a membership-based day program that provides social rehabilitation for adults living with serious mental illness. If you bring a non-perishable donation to the 7PM showing on 11/30/25, you get a free ticket for a future movie at Zoetropolis. Throughout the month of November, you can also take donations to Arch Street Center, Madcap & Co., BUiLDiNG CHARACTER, Zoetropolis, and Decades, or go to their website to make monetary donations: www.archstreetcenter.org.

In this hands-on class, you’ll create a fresh bouquet inspired by the beauty of winter—an unexpected delight in a time not usually known for flowers. Guided by one of our experienced designers, you’ll learn how to incorporate seasonal blooms and greenery into arrangements that feel festive, fresh, and full of life. Perfect for brightening your home or sharing with loved ones during holiday gatherings, your bouquet will celebrate the joy of the season with natural elegance. Registration is required.

Dana Kinsey, The Lancaster City Poet Laureate, transforms her small Pennsylvania city into a living, breathing museum — not of statues and silence, but of voices. She gathers a diverse ensemble of poets, actors, and students, each tasked with embodying a historical poet and bringing their words to life in streets, cafés, and libraries. Over weeks of rehearsals, we follow 21 performers as they wrestle with nerves, forgotten lines, and the challenge of channeling someone else’s voice — until, costume by costume, line by line, they begin to transform. From kitchen-table rehearsals to the electric energy of First Friday and the final showcase at the Ware Center, The Lancaster Living Poetry Museum captures the messy, joyful, and deeply human process of making art public.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Our annual Holiday Market is back including local makers and thrifters, sweet holiday tunes from Tuck Ryan and Friends, food and libations from Burley bar, cocktail kit stocking stuffers, and more!
