Since 1992 the Adams County Heritage Festival has celebrated the different cultures and heritages that enrich the Adams County community. Because we are unable to hold an outdoor festival this year, we present a virtual online event.
We will celebrate Adams County Heritage Month 2020 with downloadable stories, music and art here on the ICPJ website. Look for family stories, music presented by local artists, art created by county residents and world cuisine to appear all during September and help us support unity in our community. Follow the links below to experience the Festival.
