YORK, Pa. —

Codorus Creek in York County will be the center of a vibrant community celebration during Creekfire 2025.

The fall festival will take place on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Foundry Park in downtown York.

The annual event invites residents and visitors to experience the creek in a new way, featuring glowing firepits both on land and floating in the water, live music, children's activities and opportunities to gather along the creek's edge.

Highlights of the event include free hot dogs and s’mores for kids, live music throughout the evening, bonfires, interactive art projects, face painting, temporary tattoos and local kid-preneurs selling sweet treats.

Snacks and beverages will also be available for purchase.

“Creekfire is about more than just a fun night on the creek,” said Melissa Rosario of Cornerstone Barbershop. “It’s about celebrating how far the Codorus has come, building pride in this community asset, and giving people a reason to connect with and care for the creek.”

According to Cornerstone Barbershop, the mission of Creekfire is to provide the community with an opportunity to engage with the Codorus Creek in a meaningful way—raising awareness of improved water quality, sparking community pride and building a sense of shared ownership.

This year’s Creekfire comes at a time when momentum is growing for the Codorus Greenway Project, a long-term initiative to transform the creek corridor into a more accessible, connected and vibrant space for York.

"Creekfire offers a glimpse of what’s possible when the community gathers by the water," Rosario said.

Creekfire is free and family-friendly. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket or chair, dress for the crisp October evening, and enjoy a night by the fire with neighbors.

The deadlock has delayed funding for education programs along with services for abuse victims among others

YORK, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s budget stalemate has now stretched to 66 days, and non-profits in York are warning that without state funding, their ability to serve local families is on the line.

At York Day Early Learning, Executive Director Sara Bradley says the center is losing about $30,000 each month while the state budget remains unfinished. That money supports childcare for 120 children.

“We are at the point that hard decisions may need to be made,” Bradley said. “What does that look like for the number of kids we’ll be able to serve without the funding? What does the teaching staff look like? We are not immune to that, just like every other program receiving these dollars.”

Other organizations are facing the same struggles. The York YWCA, which provides care for 265 children through the state-funded Pre-K Counts program, hasn’t received any payments during the impasse. Leaders say they may have to make deep cuts—not only to education, but to other services the YWCA provides.

“Potentially, we could have to pause the program because we have not received any funds,” Chief Program Officer Laurien Smith said. “We have victim services, we have shelters, we have legal help for women who have dealt with abuse. They’re all grant funded as well.”

State Rep. Carol Hill-Evans (D-York) says she’s heard from many non-profits in her district about looming layoffs and program shutdowns if the budget isn’t resolved soon.

“We have the money. The money’s there. We just have to appropriate it,” Hill-Evans said. “We need to get back to Harrisburg and get it worked out. We need to stop playing political games, and we need to realize our focus is supposed to be on people.”

Bradley says York Day Early Learning can only hold out until December before serious cuts are possible.

“We are urging our state legislators to pass this budget,” she said. “The money is already earmarked for services like this. They just need to sign the budget so that we can continue to move forward with services that are deeply deserved by these families.”
