This week on the Tone Tailors Podcast, I sat down with Jeremy Ganse and Mitch Gready — the team behind Lancaster MusicFest. We talked about how the festival got started, what it takes to run it each year, and the local causes it supports.Lancaster MusicFest is more than just a concert in the park — it’s a full-day community experience. On September 6, 2025, Buchanan Park will be filled with live music, street performers, local food trucks, craft beer/wine/spirits, kids’ activities, and plenty of space to just hang out with friends.The lineup this year:Noon – 1:00PM: Young Musician Academy1:00PM – 2:00PM: Sarah Fiore2:00PM – 4:00PM: The Ogham Stones4:00PM – 6:00PM: Bailey Run6:00PM – 8:00PM: Kelly Bell BandBut the festival isn’t just about great music and food — it’s also the flagship fundraiser for SmartHub Foundation, benefiting Children’s Miracle Network and Schreiber Pediatric.Schreiber Pediatric serves over 4,000 children each year with occupational, physical, speech-language, and behavioral therapy, plus preschool, childcare, recreation programs, and camps.Children’s Miracle Network at Penn State Children’s Hospital funds lifesaving equipment, patient programs, and research — and a portion of Lancaster MusicFest proceeds go directly to expanding their Music Therapy program into the Emergency Department.We covered the behind-the-scenes stories, from booking bands to permit approvals, rain-day “oh crap” moments, and why building community impact is at the heart of every decision they make. If you’ve been to the festival, you’ll appreciate hearing the history and logistics that make it happen. If you haven’t — this is your heads-up to grab tickets before the price goes up on show day.🎟 Lancaster MusicFest📍 Buchanan Park – Lancaster, PA📅 September 6, 2025 – Noon to 8 PM🎫 Tickets: lancastermusicfest.com–Music used in this episode: Long Train by Kelly Bell Bandhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoQg6gL_icQStar of the County Down by The Ogham Stones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-YYMCC4yVoEagle’s View by Sarah Fiorehttps://vimeo.com/793824584?fl=pl&fe=ti&pgroup=plv
