ComMUnity Fest is an opportunity for students to connect to Millersville University and the greater Lancaster County community.  “It’s important that students not only connect on campus but connect to and engage in the local community as well,” explains John Hearn, Director of Operations at the Student Memorial Center. “Since Lancaster County will be your home away from home for several months, we’ve invited local businesses and organizations to visit campus to share what they have to offer students, faculty and staff at MU.” In 2023, ComMUnity Fest welcomed more than 35 vendors and 600 attendees, and an even larger turnout is expected this year.

The event isn’t just informative – there will be lots of freebies! Students will be able to make their own free wax hands, spin the PSECU wheel for prizes, and dine on free tacos. From Tanger Outlets to Sky Zone, each business provides free items such as coupons, food and other fun merchandise.
