What is Coronet Park?

Coronet Park is a new downtown green space developed by Harristown Development Co. on S. Second Street near Market Square. The park’s name honors the historic Coronet Restaurant, which once stood on the site before a fire in the early 1990s. After years of planning and changing market conditions, the space is being reimagined as a flexible, community-forward park built specifically for live music and other public events.

Spend a cozy afternoon browsing books, shopping local, and soaking up live music in downtown Harrisburg’s newest green space.

International bestselling author Jo Piazza (author of The Sicilian Inheritance and Everyone Is Lying to You) is bringing her pop-up book shop to Coronet Park for a special appearance. Shop new titles, pre-order her upcoming release The Parisian Heist, and discover your next great read.

You can also shop bookish accessories from local maker mark it like it’s hot and get matching anklets from permanent jeweler Lovelie Links — perfect for a little treat-yourself moment with your book club besties.
