Of beautiful people having a great time.

vs. what the orange mango tells us, when he says the Country is going to hell.

Traitor.

choice that Pres. Biden gave us vs. his leaving the race, w/ Kamala, he has definitely proved that he knows what it takes to put America first. Not tRUMP. Definitely not tRUMP. Hell, everything you see tRUMP, you wonder if he's going to keel over right there and then!

Idiot is the ultimate selfish person that I know of, and there isn't a single bone in his body harping for America obviously. He's knocked literally every demographic there is, just about.

Looks like a wonderful place to live.

looks like everyone is having a great time and not a scent of a maggot

Reminds me of many an event in days gone by.

Good to hear from you, 2naSalit! Hope all is well with you and yours.

I'm okay, just "cruisin'" during the lull of late summer. Garden is doing well, I'm liking the slow pace that seemed to evade me for so long. It's like a darkness has lifted for sure.

Lancaster, PA (from the label on sign with the clock face). I am wondering if this was a special festival, or just a random Friday night with pleasant weather?

Story-telling with photos. Lovely.

Lovely photography.

Thanks for sharing.

Everyone looks so happy. And how nice to see both young and old having fun together. Just celebrating a beautiful summer evening and being themselves.

Compare to a Dump rally where everyone is old, white, and mean.

For the life of me, I can’t understand how anyone on the right doesn’t appreciate this.

I especially like the close-ups and the wonderful diversity that they represent. Thanks for sharing!

And you have a good eye for capturing it's essence! Thanks!

The Amish place with the B-B-Qed chicken and pretzels was worth the time too.

Lots of great pictures. I especially like the first one of the lady and her dog. All of these pictures tell a story or at least prompt us to imagine what is their story. The blond lady in the second picture for example, has an interesting tattoo which appears to be relative to the native American culture.

Thank you for sharing these. My partner and I camp several times a year in that area and always have plenty to see and do. We usually stay near Intercourse. The campground is for ages 16 and above which suits us as we’re childless cat dudes.

These amazing photos are just what we need. We're in the middle of a hard-fought campaign and here's our rescue: Your gorgeous photos showing people out and about, having a great time!

Thank you for posting!

There's much work to do, but we can laugh and dance and sing while getting the job done!

Love them all but that first picture of the young lady and her dog--her smile says it all. Thank you so much for sharing!

that people can’t be their beautiful selves and feel safe, everywhere.

I got nothing but positivity from every one. That's a joy

We all deserve some joy and laughter after all we've been put through!

Great photos !

My mother-in-law has lived in a retirement community in Lancaster for a decade or ii bit longer. I’ve visited her there with my several times. I never knew Lancaster was so vibrant!

Love this photo collection, Mousetoescamper!

Looks like a FABULOUS and FUN day out there! And all those musicians! It not only looks like fun, I bet it sounds like fun, too!

Dogs in 7th photo look like our new rescue dog! Rescue Vet said a Portuguese breed of sight hound called Podengo, crossed with a local type of cur.

Good to hear from you, calimary!

Thanks!

Discovered the Beatles the first night they appeared on “The Ed Sullivan Show.” And I was HOOKED! As were millions of other teen and pre-teen girls. I remember keeping count of how many Beatle pictures I had (from how many fan magazines) and I gave up when it got up into four figures.

Joyful ❤️‍🔥🎊🤹🏼‍♀️🎺🎸🥁Love it.

We are NOT going back!

In Harrisburg. Great pictures. I'm your neighbor in Lebanon County. Lancaster county and surrounding area is pristine. Glad to see everybody enjoying themselves.

I've been there on a Labor Day weekend at City Island.

Thanks!

You really captured the spirit and joy of everyone!

Having grown up in Binghamton NY for 50+ years we were familiar with the Lancaster/Reading PA area. Visited there a few times but never saw it quite like the photos.. I always thought of Lancaster as Amish country and that was quite interesting and lovely in its own way. But these photos…….how wonderful and diverse it has become. Must be a great place to live.

Lancaster has come a long way during the past 20 or so years. I wouldn't want to live any place else on the planet.

Thank you so much for sharing this message, mousetoescamper.

Wonderful. 💙

I feel more hopeful for the future than I have in many years.

I’m close by but have never attended a First Friday. Looks like tremendous fun.

Thanks for sharing. Great shots of happy, diverse people just hanging out and being joyful.

A wonderful cross-section of your city and such celebratory spirit.

Thanks for posting!
