Harrisburg Prepares for Kipona Festival | Harrisburg News

Harrisburg’s city leaders are stepping up security for this year’s Kipona Festival, vowing to arrest teens causing disturbances — a proactive move following last year’s curfew crackdown and planned increased police presence. Officials stress they want to avoid arrests but won’t hesitate to enforce order to protect the event’s enjoyment for all. A recent homicide won’t impact festival safety measures, as Commissioner Carter confirmed. New protocols, including crowd protection from vehicle incidents, aim to ensure a safe, fun experience along Front Street from September 5–7 — plus parking info is now available for attendees.
