Farm to City Street Dinner
No need to cook dinner for the family on Sunday. York’s Farm to City Street Dinner will fill you up with a delicious locally sourced fall meal served with local beer, cider and wine.

It’s a great way to meet your neighbors and celebrate the fall season as a community. A silent auction and live music will also be provided.
