About Carlisle Summerfair
Established in 1977Carlisle Summerfair was the brain child of the late Wayne Powell, formerly of The Sentinel. With high gas prices, he wanted something for the families in the area to do over the Fourth of July. As the years have gone by and events and board members have come and gone, one thing stays the same - the commitment to the community to have family-friendly events at no cost to the public. We all thank the dedicated men and women that have made, and will continue to make Summerfair what it is today!

Our GoalOur board of directors is made up entirely of volunteers from throughout the greater Carlisle area. Some represent businesses while others serve as community volunteers. Our goal is to offer free, family-friendly events around the 4th of July holiday for the Carlisle area. We want our region’s families to be able to relax and enjoy activities close to home. With the generous support of many of our great business sponsors, we are able to put on over 35 events each year over about a week-long period of time that include things like baby races, a kid’s carnival, mini-golf tournament, concerts, the Harrisburg Symphony concerts, open swimming pool nights, fishing derby, musical, and many other events. There truly is something for everyone.
