LANCASTER, Pa. — Today's Celebrate Lancaster event in the city has been cancelled due to the unfavorable weather forecast this afternoon and evening, a Lancaster City spokesperson announced.

Celebrate Lancaster was scheduled to go from 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, but the lightning and stormy conditions in the weather forecast forced organizers to abruptly announce its cancellation shortly before noon.

"The safety and wellbeing of our attendees, vendors and staff are of the utmost importance," said city communications director Amber Strazzo. "We apologize for any inconvenience. Rest assured, our team is actively working on rescheduling the event and we will update you with details when we have them. We appreciate your understanding."
