The fair is coming to town, and you're invited to take part in the family fun. The Wrightsville Fair will run from 6 to 10 p.m. on Thursday, May 21; 5 to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 22 and 23; and 2 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, May 24. It will be held in Riverfront Park, 465 N. Front St., Wrightsville.

The fair is a collaboration between members of the Wrightsville Borough Council, the African American Cultural Alliance (AACA) and Majestic Midways, said Alicia Ferrari, borough council member.

She's joined in organizing the event by fellow council members Sara Barrett and Alex Lehman of the Community & Economic Development Committee and Derek Smith of the African American Cultural Alliance of Lancaster.

"I noticed on Facebook that the AACA was looking for a new location for their annual fair, and I knew the community of Wrightsville would be so excited for the opportunity to host an event like this," Ferrari shared. "I've heard so many residents reminisce fondly about carnivals here in town in the past."

The festivities will feature fun for the whole family, she said.

"There will be rides and games for all ages, plus local vendors, businesses, organizations and food trucks, too," she remarked.

There is no admission fee for the fair, but tickets will be sold per ride at the ticket booth. On Thursday evening, unlimited rides will be available for one price.

Ferrari said collaborating with the AACA has given the borough an opportunity to showcase one of its most picturesque spots.

"We are so glad our Riverfront Park provides the perfect landscape for this kind of community event, right along the beautiful Susquehanna River," she said.

The African American Cultural Alliance of Lancaster works to strengthen the community by promoting self-sufficiency; fostering dialogue; and supporting educational, cultural and social initiatives that celebrate and uplift the African American experience. Over the years, the organization has grown from hosting a signature parade and festival into a broader, volunteer-driven effort dedicated to preserving heritage and creating opportunities that unite and inspire the community. The Wrightsville Fair will help the organization continue to highlight its mission.

Although the fair will take place in the afternoon and evening, Ferrari encourages people to make a day of it in Wrightsville.

"Come earlier in the day to experience all that Wrightsville has to offer - our restaurants, historic character and views of the river," she commented. "Spend a fun evening down in Riverfront Park with classic carnival games and rides, fun for all ages, plus local vendors and yummy food trucks."
