In the June 2026 Issue of Harrisburg Magazine:
- Harrisburg’s Hidden Gem: Just minutes from downtown Harrisburg, Wildwood Park offers something increasingly rare: a place where wetlands, wildlife and stillness can momentarily drown out the noise of modern life. Read about the history, ecology and quiet emotional pull of the beloved urban refuge that continues to reconnect visitors with nature – and with themselves.
- Dishing the Dirt: Composting may sound intimidating, but this practical guide shows how kitchen scraps, grass clippings and autumn leaves can become rich “black gold” for gardens and landscapes alike. Eric Ebeling, Harrisburg Magazine’s editorial director, digs into the simple science, environmental benefits and oddly addictive satisfaction behind turning everyday waste into fertile soil.
- Built on Connection: Inside Hershey Cycles, bicycles share space with comfortable atmosphere, handcrafted conversation and a soundtrack that feels as carefully curated as the bikes themselves. Find out how a homegrown downtown shop built on expertise, music and human connection quietly became a distinctive gathering place.
- Building More Trust: Technical skill may get contractors hired, but communication and trust are often what homeowners remember long after the dust settles. In this month’s Housing Scene, columnist Eileen Voyles explores the overlooked human side of home renovation, and why the best contractors build relationships as carefully as they build kitchens, basements and floors.
- Melodic Mayhem Rising: Pennsylvania progressive metalcore band What Lies Below is turning heads with a sound that fuses blistering intensity, technical precision and deeply personal storytelling. In this month’s After the Beat column, Amy Simpson explores the rise of the Harrisburg-area group as it prepares for a pivotal year of touring, new music and an ambitious album release.
