Live Music: Folk

11:00am - 8:00pm

Shaver’s Creek Environmental Center is excited to announce that it is hosting its first-ever live Music Festival at its center in Petersburg on Sunday, September 26 from 11AM to 8PM. The festival is a fundraiser to support the Creek’s efforts to build a covered stage that will host future events like this as well as provide teaching space for its educational programs. The Shaver’s Creek Music Festival will feature six regional, high-energy, acoustic, Americana and bluegrass bands as well as several local food vendors.

The live music lineup for the day includes local acts John Cunningham & Friends, Pure Cane Sugar, Tussey Mountain Moonshiners, Tolins Bluegrass Revue, and Ted & the Hi-Fi’s, and will culminate with a rocking performance by Philadelphia’s own Wissahickon Chicken Shack. According to Shaver’s Creek Assistant Program Director Paul Brigman, “These bands are going to be lively and energetic. People should plan to bring their dancing shoes!”

When you get hungry from all of that dancing, food vendors will be on hand to fill your belly and quench your thirst, including Doan’s Bones Barbeque, Standing Stone Coffee Company, and Gemelli Bakers, who will be onsite from 12-6PM with their portable pizza oven. A percentage of each vendor’s sales will go to support the covered stage project.

Tickets are on sale now, and cost $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, and $10 for children ages 6-12. Children ages 5 and under are free. To pre-order tickets call Shaver’s Creek at 814-863-2000, or stop by the Creek seven days a week, 10AM-5PM.
