Chamber will present Music in Memorial Park

Looking for free summer entertainment? Look no further than the Music in Memorial Park concert series, organized by the Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce. The series will feature live music, along with food, on three upcoming Sundays at War Memorial Park, 101 Marietta Ave., Mount Joy. Food will be available beginning at 5 p.m., and the concerts will run from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The Kracker Beez will kick off the series on Sunday, July 30, with food from Piper Belle's BBQ food truck. A three-piece band, the Kracker Beez performs classic party rock 'n' roll music. On Aug. 6, the Celtic Martins will entertain, with food provided by Spudd Muffin food truck. Focusing on high-energy fiddle music, the band plays music based on original and centuries-old traditional Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton, French Canadian and Americana tunes. On Aug. 13, the Stu Huggens Band will wrap up the series, with food provided by the Chamber. The band performs a mix of country, Americana and roots music.

"The Chamber does the concerts as a way to give back to the community who support our local businesses and Chamber members," said Ashley Zell, Chamber executive director. "We also use this time to promote the members of the Mount Joy Chamber with our directories and more."

She noted that the series would not be possible without community support. Major music sponsors and Diamond Members of the Chamber are Members 1st Federal Credit Union and townlively.com.

For the Aug. 13 event, the Chamber will once again host a free hot dog and ice cream social, with snacks and drinks also provided. Sponsors for the social include Giant, Clair and Mary Ginder, Hummer Meats and many more.

Zell encourages everyone to come out and enjoy a summer evening in the park. "You can come get your supper and support the Chamber member food trucks," she said. "Bring your chairs or blankets, and sit under the trees, and enjoy your food and the live music."
