Welcome to Gettysburg!

October First Friday - Bountiful Harvest!

PictureVolunteers sort and pack bags for Ruth's Harvest.
October - Harvest & Share
Fall has arrived, and it is the season of harvest! Summer has slipped away and it is time to prepare for the winter months.  Join our GARMA businesses Oct. 7 as we celebrate the fall harvest!  Participating businesses will offer specials, promotions and more!

This month, we share our bountiful harvest with those in need.  GARMA businesses will collect packaged food for the non-profit group Ruth's Harvest.  The program supplies children in need in the Gettysburg School District with backpacks of food to get them through the weekend.

​If you would like to donate, please take a look at the list of products needed for the program here.

The First Friday of every month is set aside as a special night out in Gettysburg. Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to stroll the streets, and visit various stores, restaurants, boutiques, and accommodations. 

Come explore Gettysburg - You won't be disappointed!
