The "Saturday Morning Panic" ends here.
We know the feeling. It’s 8:00 AM on a Saturday.
The kids are full of energy, the coffee hasn't kicked in yet, and you’re staring at your phone, desperately trying to find something to do.
You’re digging through chaotic Facebook groups. You’re skimming outdated community calendars.
You’re texting friends. And inevitably, on Monday morning, you see photos of an amazing festival that happened 10 minutes from your house, that you completely missed.
Parenting in Lancaster is wonderful. Finding out what’s going on shouldn't be a part-time job.
That’s why we built Parents of Lancaster.
We are a local media outlet with a single mission:
To give families clarity, convenience, and connection.
We cut through the noise to bring you a clean, curated, weekly edit of everything happening in our county. We don't use algorithms to guess what you like; we use local parents who live here, play here, and know exactly what’s worth your time.
What We Promise You
We scour the library boards, the park websites, the small business Instagram pages, and the community forums so you don't have to. We gather the scattered information and put it into one easy-to-read newsletter.
Whether you are looking for a free hike and a playground or a ticketed holiday experience, we cover it all. We believe fun shouldn't always cost a fortune. Every week, we highlight "Hidden Gems"—parks and spots that cost nothing but time.
We know that what works for a 2-year-old is a nightmare for a 12-year-old. We categorize events by age and interest so you can find the right fit for your family.
We aren't a coupon book filled with junk you’ll never use. We partner with local businesses to bring you meaningful deals—family meal discounts, play passes, and seasonal perks.
We verify every deal. If we wouldn't use it for our own families, we won't send it to yours.
We aren't a faceless national database.
Parents of Lancaster is part of a network built city by city, neighborhood by neighborhood.We are the parents standing next to you at the soccer field. We are the ones wiping sticky hands at the ice cream shop. We are the ones navigating the school drop-off line.
We know that parenting is local. It’s lived in our neighborhoods, our parks, and our schools. We believe that when you spend less time searching for logistics, you have more time to focus on what actually matters: your kids.
