Kipona Festival

Prepare to kiss summer goodbye in the most epic way possible at the Kipona Festival, Harrisburg’s legendary Labor Day weekend bash that has been making waves for over a century. Translating to “sparkling waters,” this massive three-day riverfront extravaganza packs in a staggering amount of fun along the Susquehanna River and City Island. You can expect a wildly diverse lineup featuring a Native American Powwow, a whimsical giant puppet parade, the high-flying Keystone Dock Dogs competition, and an eclectic multicultural celebration with endless live music. Throw in dozens of food trucks, an artisan craft market, a relaxing beer and wine garden, and a dazzling fireworks and drone show to cap it off, and you have the ultimate recipe for a long weekend send-off that the whole family will love.
