Are You Ready for Gettysburg Fest?








We’re less than two weeks away from one of Gettysburg’s most anticipated annual events. Five action-packed days on June 11-15 promise more than 50 live performances on seven stages, seven art shows, children’s events and activities, and more. Here’s what we’re looking forward to at the 7th annual Gettysburg Fest.
  • Children’s Events: From a Children’s Art Fair and ice cream social to live performances by the Gettysburg Civic Chorus and Brass Bands, Saturday is set to be a day the entire family will enjoy. Beginning at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m., The Family Celebration presented by PNC Bank and WellSpan at Gettysburg College Campus’ Pennsylvania Hall is free to the public.
  • Stephen Lang’s “Beyond Glory”: The award-winning stage and screen actor brings the stories of eight different Medal of Honor recipients to The Majestic Theater on Sunday, June 15 at 2 p.m. Check out the July/August 2014 issue for Stephen’s First Person column on his connection to Gettysburg.
  • The Lone Bellow: The contemporary country group will hit the Fitzgerald Auto Malls Main Stage on Friday, June 13 at 8:30 p.m. to share their mix of blues, gospel, folk, soul, and indie rock.
  • Plein Air Artists: Watch the artists in action at the Gettysburg National Military Park, Jennie Wade House Museum, Troegs Independent Stage, and more, all week long.
  • Brass, Blues & BBQ: On Saturday, brass bands from Annapolis, Frederick, Md., New England, and more will give free performances. Plus, enjoy mouth-watering BBQ and a special performance by Nate Myers & The Aces and Octavia at Fitzgerald Auto Malls Main Stage for Blues BBQ. Tickets are still on sale.
