Here is your basic itinerary for Harrisburg.

Fri- walk around capitol grounds if warm enough, take in the architecture, sometimes there are people doing things inside to see or outside protestors to talk to, most of the walkable nightlife happens on N 2nd street, though I recommend walking in the opposite direction first to Los Tres Cubanos for an intimate dinner. Harrisburg has a lot of good food. If cuban food isn’t your thing, there are plenty of options between the capitol and North 2nd street

Sat- broad street market, midtown scholar independent bookstore, maybe Harrisburg midtown arts center for comedy or drinks or something. Could parlay this day into Hershey but that is more expensive. Or walk across the foot traffic bridge to city island in Harrisburg if the weather is nice. There are no games on city island in March tho. Could do the Troegs factory though I didn’t have a good time there, admittedly it was Covid-19.

Sun- hiking at trail in Duncannon if you want something easier for hiking but still rewarding, lunch or dinner at Red Rabbit nearby (cash only), it’s a 1950 burger and milkshake joint, if you want a more challenging hike bc you’re fit or something, the halfway point of the Appalachian trail and museum is at michaux state forest in Cumberland county, adjoining food rec., museum ice cream challenge
