A Small Town Feel - In the Heart of the City

In Midtown, you’ll find everything from the perfect pour of locally roasted coffee or freshly tapped craft beer to a diverse mix of ethnic market dining and upscale restaurants. The neighborhood is also home to unique small businesses, offering everything from vintage finds to handmade goods. Artistic experiences range from local gallery exhibits and indie films to nationally touring museum pieces. Midtown is a neighborhood worth exploring — and every visit brings something new to discover and love.

Check out some highlights below.


Susquehanna Art Museum 

The S.A.M. is not your average art museum. Nestled in the heart of Midtown Harrisburg, in a beautifully reclaimed builiding, S.A.M. is dedicated to education, collaboration, & creativity, and is considered one of the cultural anchors for Central Pennsylvania. The Susquehanna Art Museum offers educational programming and diverse exhibits for community members of all ages. Check out their upcoming exhibits to plan your trip!

Broad Street Market

Founded in 1860, the Broad Street Market is one of the oldest continuously operating farmers market in the country. Serving as the long-time anchor of retail activity in the Midtown district, the Broad Street Market fills three city blocks between Third and Sixth streets.  With over 40 vendors offering everything from apple dumplings to Zeroday craft beer, the Market always features a fresh selection of handmade goods and produce, as well as delicious prepared foods from many different cultures and cuisines. 


The Market recently experienced a devastating fire in the brick building. However, the stone building remains open, and a temporary tent now hosts several vendors from the brick building. For the latest updates on the restoration project, please visit the City of Harrisburg's official government website.
