Music For Everyone is an organization that raises money to provide musical education and musical instruments to needy students in Lancaster County. During the summer they place variously decorated pianos throughout downtown for people to play.
This year there are 19 in town. I found quite a few of them, and some were being played at the time I saw them.
A location map can be picked up at the welcome center or obtained online.
