For many years the show was at the Lancaster Host, with a smaller spinoff show and vendors across the street at the Continental. About 6 years ago I'd read the woman with the legal rights to the show wanted to retire and sell her ownership. Instead the AQS started their own show in downtown Lancaster at the Convention Center, and the Continental show continued separately as the Spring Blossom show. Seems like this year the Continental show has spread back across the street to the Lancaster Host. Lots of free parking at the Continental. Parking at the Host cost $5 or $10 when the show was on site. There's a shuttle bus running to some area hotels including the Continental from the downtown show, but I'm guessing there's a fee. Check the AQS site for sure. I can't go this year, but envy those who can. If you get a chance visit the textile museum downtown- walking distance from the Convention Center. It's in a glorious renovated bank with vaulted tiled ceilings. Unfortunately they are in financial distress, rarely open, and you may never get another chance.
