Hobb's Birthday
RSVP Deadline: May 8
Hobbs’ 40th Birthday
& Memorial Day Weekend
May 22 – 24, 2026
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
I’m celebrating my 40th birthday and would love for you to join me in Harrisburg for a weekend of celebration with family and friends.
I’ve planned a few events throughout the weekend so everyone can spend time together and enjoy the celebration. This is meant to be a family and friends weekend, so guests of all ages are welcome.
I’m excited to celebrate a major milestone — turning 40 — and I’d love for you to join me for a weekend of celebration with family and friends.
Although my actual birthday is in March, Memorial Day Weekend felt like the perfect opportunity to bring everyone together and spend meaningful time celebrating with the people who matter most.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll kick things off with a relaxed fish fry, gather for the main birthday celebration at the Capitol Complex, and wrap things up with a Sunday brunch before heading downtown for a stroll through the Harrisburg Arts Festival.
Whether you’re able to join for one event or the entire weekend, I’m looking forward to spending time together and making it a memorable celebration.
I hope you’ll join me in celebrating this milestone together!
