Susquehanna River Cleanup Project
The Susquehanna River is a highly valuable natural resource. It’s also the soul of Sunbury. We want to take good care of her. Every April, a small army of volunteers are organized and deployed to multiple areas along the river and tributaries to pick up as much litter and trash as possible. Hundreds of volunteers have collected thousands of pounds of trash.

Sunbury Sandwich Stroll
Sunbury has the best sandwich shops around…but who is the best of the best? The annual Sandwich Stroll makes that determination every June. The public can purchase tasting coupons that can be exchanged for sandwich samples at competing shops. They vote for their favorite to win the People’s Choice Award. Meanwhile a panel of judges taste all entries and select the winner of the Judges’ Choice Award. It’s fun AND delicious!
