Festivals to Support the Arts 5

We are thrilled to present Susquehanna Style's much-anticipated annual Dream Homes issue. This edition is all about stunning architecture and interior design, and we are honored to invite you into the extraordinary home of local designer Gabriella Messina. Prepare to be inspired by her beautifully restored Georgian mansion, the Brockie, in the heart of York County. Immerse yourself in a world of chic design that is both classic and modern.

With the end of summer and the arrival of the fall season, we shift our focus to the arts and cultural events that commence in the Valley. In this month’s Five Things, we have thoughtfully curated five fall festivals that allow you to support the arts while experiencing the richness of our local culture. From lively music festivals to art exhibitions, these events are bound to enrich your creative side and kick off your autumn adventures right (more to come on autumn adventures in our October issue, so stay tuned!).

As we embrace the fresh start of this new season, we recognize that many of you spend a significant portion of time in your office space, whether it's in the comfort of your home or out-of-home office. To freshen up your workspace, check out Shop in Style on page 10 for inspo to revamp your desk and office supplies. Discover how small changes can make a world of difference, enhancing your mindset and workflow.

For those busy office days outside the home, we offer you options to step up your packed-lunch game! In Dish It Up, explore a gourmet spin on preparing a bento box lunch. Elevate your midday meal with a variety of flavors and fresh ingredients that will invigorate your taste buds and fuel your creativity.

Before signing off, all of us at Susquehanna Style want to thank the community, from businesses to our readers, who supported our annual Best of the Susquehanna Valley event! We had a wonderful time celebrating with you, and look forward to hearing from all of you again when we kick-off Best of the Susquehanna Valley in 2024.

Wishing you a season filled with joy, inspiration, and endless possibilities.
