The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center closed permanently on Feb. 17, 2026, after the city refused to renew its licenses, making operations illegal.
The Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center announced it is permanently closing on February 17, 2026, due to the city’s refusal to renew critical health and mercantile licenses, making operations illegal under state law.
The venue, which has paid a 10% entertainment tax on ticket sales for 15 years, said it attempted to resolve the issue through partial payments and a repayment plan but received no response from city officials.
The closure, despite plans for a $2 million renovation and amid ongoing financial strain from the pandemic, will end its role as a cultural hub for local artists and businesses.
The city’s solicitor had not commented at the time of the announcement.
