York is home to the Strand Capitol Performing Arts Center which brings nationally recognized acts to the York area. The historic Capitol Theatre also features many independent and foreign films, which makes it the only venue in York (and sometimes the entire Susquehanna Valley) to feature some rare, yet critically acclaimed films. The Strand Studio has also branched out from the recently Renovated Strand-Capitol Performing Arts Center. The Studio offers live music, usually jazz & acoustic, for the community.

Today, much of York's culture represents the city's evolving role as an agricultural and industrial center. The York Fair which claims to be the country's oldest, traces its roots back to the 1700's. It runs every year in September for 10 days. In addition to typical fair attractions, such as rides, games and contests, it also wins regional recognition for hosting many (usually country) musical artists, such as Alabama, Gretchen Wilson, Carrie Underwood and Toby Keith.

The fairgrounds also opened the York Expo Center,which hosts the annual National Stree Rod Assoctiation, the largest annual street rod event in the Eastern US.This event brings thousands of street rods into York.
