After taking a hiatus from in person events in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lancaster Festival returned for 2021. The 10-day arts festival kicked off with an ArtWalk Friday, July 23, and culminated with a performance from Don Felder (formerly of The Eagles) on July 31, with dozens of events, performances, and opportunities for community togetherness in between.

WOUB’s Joseph Scheller visited the festival Friday, July 30, and you can check out the resulting photos below.
