FRIDAY: On First Friday, downtown Lancaster becomes a feast for the eyes. But on the third Friday of each month, it becomes a feast for the ears. Tonight from 5 to 10 p.m. (or thereabouts) bands and solo acts playing covers and originals, acoustic, electric, you name it, you'll probably find it playing in downtown shops and even in the streets for Music Friday. The free event is picking up steam and gives the artistically inclined (or even just the bored) another reason to come downtown. Shown above are the Enharmonics, a jazz quartet from Cherokee High School in Canton, Ga., who will be performing at Building Character, 342 N. Queen St. Other details are included in the R&R with R&R column, page 10. For details, visit www.downtownlancaster.com.

But you can during Terre Hill Days which continues right through the weekend at Terre Hill Community Memorial Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill. The family-friendly festival, which opened Thursday, features rides, games and nightly live music, plus lots of food, a cruise night (tonight), fireworks (Saturday) and a whole lot more.
