Hanover, PA – March 26, 2024 – The Hanover Area Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to unveil an exciting addition to its event lineup this September: Snack Town Fall Fest, proudly presented by Campbell’s Snacks, Iron Lion, and Utz. In conjunction with this highly anticipated event, the Chamber is delighted to announce its partnership with Rocky 98.5's Battle of the Bands, a renowned tradition in Adams and York counties.

Snack Town Fall Fest marks an evolution from the former Snack Town Brewfest, which concluded its successful six-year run in September 2023 at Moul Field in Hanover. While Brewfest was a ticketed event tailored to those aged twenty-one and over, Fall Fest embraces inclusivity by welcoming individuals of all ages. This family-friendly affair promises a diverse array of entertainment, food, and craft vendors, ensuring a delightful experience for attendees of every age group. We're excited to expand our flagship fall event and cater to a broader demographic within our community. Snack Town Fall Fest will embody the spirit of community, offering something for everyone to enjoy.

The most notable addition to Snack Town Fall Fest is Rocky 98.5's Battle of the Bands, a beloved tradition that will make its debut in Hanover at this year's festival. This thrilling musical showcase will feature talented performers from across the region, vying for top honors and entertaining audiences with electrifying performances. We're honored to have Rocky 98.5’s Battle of the Bands to Hanover as part of Snack Town Fall Fest. This event celebrates the vibrant music scene in Adams and York counties, and we're excited to showcase local talent on a larger stage. Furthermore, this year marks the 20th Anniversary of Battle of the Bands!

Snack Town Fall Fest is scheduled to take place on September 14, 2024, from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM at 151 Moul Ave in Hanover. For inquiries regarding sponsorship opportunities, please contact Jake Taylor, Member & Community Relations Manager, at jtaylor@hanoverchamber.com.
