Cherry Hill Township is offering residents free, live entertainment in July and August at Cherry Hill’s historic Barclay Farmstead.
The family-friendly “Music Under the Stars” outdoor concert series will give music fans of all ages a front-row seat to both exciting headliners and up-and-coming opening acts, beginning at 6:30 p.m. every Tuesday on the grounds of the historic farmstead. The concerts will take place each Tuesday through Aug. 4.
While music is the night’s highlight, there’s plenty else to see and do. The Friends of Barclay Farmstead will offer free, guided tours of the handicap-accessible Farmhouse. A moon bounce will be set up to entertain children; visitors can take a walk along the Barclay Nature Trails; kids can play in the Barclay playground, or take a book to read from one of three Little Free Library sites in Cherry Hill.
Mary’s Mobile Diner, Olde City Kettle Corn and Jack and Jill Ice Cream will be on hand, with great food options for purchase.
As always, attendance is free. This year, guests are invited to bring a nonperishable food donation for the Cherry Hill Food Pantry.
“Music Under the Stars is one of Cherry Hill’s best kept traditions and offers residents the opportunity to put on their dancing shoes and enjoy great live entertainment to the backdrop of a beautiful summer night,” Mayor Chuck Cahn said. “Bring your blanket, a chair, and even a picnic dinner, but with this year’s lineup, don’t expect to spend much time in your seat!”
This year’s concerts include:
- July 7 — Masquerade
- July 14 — Just in Time
- July 21–80s Revenge
- July 28 — The Luck Brothers
- Aug. 4 — Danny V’s 52nd Street Band (the concert coincides with the township’s celebration of National Night Out).
Concerts are canceled in the event of rain. Music Under the Stars is supported by the MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, and the Cherry Hill Alliance on Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
“Music Under the Stars is just one of many exciting events scheduled for the summer of 2015,” Mayor Cahn added. “I’m proud to continue offering a variety of ways for residents to stay active and have fun, whether you’re planning a vacation or staying close to home all summer.”
