You’ll want to get this on your calendar: Publick Tyme has added exciting free events this year! Join us in Dillsburg for a day of live bluegrass, Americana, and folk music, plus a biergarten featuring new and upcoming breweries in the Northern York County area. Interact with living history reenactors roaming the Dill’s Tavern grounds from Colonial America all the way up through World War II.

This year’s Publick Tyme will take place on Saturday, May 11th from 9am to 4pm in conjunction with Dillsburg Picklefest right across the street on Greenbrier Lane. And to top it all off, it’s the opening day of the Dillsburg Farmer’s Market at the Dillsburg Senior Center Parking Lot, 1 N. 2nd Street. Quilts and quiltmaking will be on display all day at the Maple Shade Barn. Come downtown to Dillsburg for a day of fun — rain or shine — and make sure to bring a chair or blanket to enjoy the music! All events are free and open to the public.
