Hershey Happenings

Despite an almost quiet end to September, the changing leaves and fall-like weather won’t slow the season in Hershey.

One of the largest antique car shows in the country, the annual Eastern Divison AACA National Fall Meet is coming around the corner, kicking off the first full week of October. Hershey has hosted this car show and flea market since 1955.

Check out more than 1,500 show cars and 9,000 flea market spaces on the grounds surrounding Hersheypark and The Giant Center. Admission is free!

As many of you know, Hershey Theatre is a good friend of ours. If you haven’t had the chance, I highly recommend their SPOTLIGHT TOUR. It runs twice a week -- 11 a.m. on Fridays and 1 p.m. on Sundays with a $7 adult admission; $5.50 for kids under 12.

The tour takes you behind the scenes at Hershey Theatre and investigates the building’s grand architecture and history. Did you know that Hershey Theatre was built as part of Milton S. Hershey’s “Great Building Campaign”? It was originally the town’s community center and through its history housed a library, a hospital and a dormitory!
