We support the economic vitality of downtown Lancaster through beautification efforts— attracting visitors, residents, & businesses.

LEADS = Lancaster's Economic Action for Downtown Success Each spring Downtown Lancaster lampposts are hung with flower baskets, and each fall they’re decorated with holiday wreaths and garlands. The Penn Square Christmas tree stands tall with twinkling lights and ornaments thanks to a partnership between LEADS and the City of Lancaster. LEADS conducts a variety of fundraisers to pay for these programs, and, since we’re an all-volunteer organization, virtually all contributions go directly to these costs. Donations are greatly appreciated and you may do so by following the link on our page or clicking here : https://lancasterleads.org/. LEADS’ goal has and will always be to make Lancaster a more beautiful place to visit, work and live and we thank you for your continued support of LEADS and all that we do.

Capital Day is more than a celebration, it’s a way to honor Lancaster City’s legacy. On September 27, 1777 Lancaster City became the capital of the United States for a day. Thank you to Lancaster Capital Day 2026 for highlighting such a significant event. Even though the festival was cut short due to the weather, the celebration was filled with community and support. Hopefully, next year we will be able to experience Capital Day to the fullest!
