Downtown Harrisburg businesses are getting into the 3rd in the Burg spirit with a new lineup of monthly events and happenings starting this weekend.
Intended as a celebration of all parts of Harrisburg, 3rd in the Burg events have largely had focus in Midtown.
Whether enjoying evening hours at Broad Street Market, checking out the new gallery at Susquehanna Art Museum, or having a beer while listening to local music at Zeroday Brewing Co., the bulk of the action was north of Forster St.
Now, with new venues and events, there is more than ever to do in downtown during 3rd in the Burg.
See what you can experience this month during March’s 3rd in the Burg on Friday, March 15.
sip @ soma
sip @ soma is a guest tasting room that hosts a new Pennsylvania brewery, winery, distillery, or cidery during 3rd in the Burg weekend and other limited engagement dates.
Guests to sip @ soma get to experience new-to-you and favorite breweries, special events, and guest visits from any number of Pa. craft beverage vendors.
This weekend, sip @ soma features Free Will Brewing Co. from Perkasie, Pa. Free Will will offer a select lineup of beers on tap and a variety of cans and bottles for onsite consumption and takeaway sale.
Neighboring restaurants Bricco and El Sol will offer a small delivery menu during sip @ soma events.
Look for a new guest at sip @ soma each 3rd in the Burg at 13 S. Third St. in SoMa Harrisburg.
Please note: due to limited seating, free tickets are required for most sip @ soma events. They can be found at sarabozich.ticketleap.com ahead of each event.
Sip & Shop at Midtown Dandy x Stash Vintage
Shop vintage. Have a drink.
For 3rd in the Burg, the vintage boutique invited local winery, Spring Gate, to provide samples so you can sip while you peruse the racks for your next vintage find.
Every trip to Midtown Dandy x Stash offers a new shopping experience. Both Anela and Andy are constantly adding new items so you’re bound to find that “a-ha” piece that speaks to you.
Whitaker Unplugged
Whitaker Center for Science & the Arts is also getting into 3rd in the Burg. Each Friday, they’ll turn their lobby into a concert hall for local artists.
The new series, ‘Whitaker Unplugged,’ gives local acoustic singers and songwriters a chance to shine in a coffee-shop style atmosphere.
Following each month’s performance, local judges will award a cash prize to a winner — not to mention a chance to break into the local music scene.
Tickets to Whitaker Unplugged are just $5.
