Hanover to Host 6th Annual Snack Town Street Fair in Partnership with Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce and Utz Brands

Hanover, PA— Hanover, nicknamed "Snack Town, USA" for its deep roots as a hub for iconic snack food brands, will once again live up to its name on July 11, 2026 as the 6th Annual Snack Town Street Fair takes over downtown Hanover from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. More than 10,000 visitors are expected to attend, making it the largest annual event hosted by the Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce.

Presented in partnership with Utz Brands— one of the hometown snack companies that helped Hanover earn its nickname— this year's fair will feature more than 240 vendors from Pennsylvania and surrounding states, including over 50 food vendors serving up everything from funnel cakes and tacos to BBQ.

"Snack Town Street Fair has grown every year, and this year we're expecting our biggest crowd yet. It's a great day to see why downtown Hanover is a great place to live, work, and start a business."
