Music Friday

Downtown Lancaster consistently offers unique and exciting experiences for those that love the arts, providing events like Music Friday which showcase one larger free concert, along with other acts at restaurants, businesses, and even on the street throughout the city. Every third Friday Lancaster becomes a city of music, and King’s Cottage Bed & Breakfast is the ideal location to experience that day and the weekend that follows.

 This Music Friday is led by Shrimpboat, a soul, funk, and blues band formed in Columbia, PA in 2012. Shrimpboat has quickly made a name for themselves, attracting the attention of engineer Dave Natale, a man who previously worked with The Rolling Stones and Tina Turner. Shrimpboat will be playing at Binns Park on North Queen Street, but they are only one of many bands scheduled to perform on Friday.

Throughout downtown Lancaster music will be coming from many of the local businesses, and you’ll even get a chance to view a wide range of street performers. The Belvedere Inn, also on North Queen Street, has the Dave Wilson Trio performing from 7 PM to 10 PM. The Chameleon Club, a constant source of musical entertainment, has brought in Scott Stapp, former lead singer of Creed, to perform at 7 PM for Music Friday. The street acts are just as impressive, with One Man Band doing a street performance at 229 North Queen Street.

Music Friday isn’t only about the great talent of Lancaster County, but also a perfect ladies night out. BUiLDiNG CHARACTER, a marketplace on North Queen Street that has over 40 local shops under one roof, host Ladies Night Out every Music Friday. This Ladies Night Out features free desert samples and drinks, free hand-scrubs by Garden Party, and a free 5-minute chair massage by Jim Baldwin. A great night out is complimented by the potential to shop, with all 40 vendors open and selling clothing, handcrafted jewelry, handmade accessories, gifts, cards and art. 

There is never a dull moment in Lancaster, with each weekend offering new and exciting experiences. To experience Lancaster at its very best, then we recommend staying with the very best in luxury and comfort at King’s Cottage Bed & Breakfast. We look forward to greeting you soon!
