– by Ellie Aungst

Get ready to roll out a blanket, grab an ice cream cone, and enjoy live music under the stars as the Lemont Village Green Summer Concert Series returns for another season of free community fun. Running Friday evenings from June through September, these outdoor concerts are hosted by the Lemont Village Association and held on the scenic Lemont Village Green, with start times at 7:30 PM in June–August and 7:00 PM in September.

The series features an impressive lineup of local talent—from bluegrass and acoustic jams to rock, folk, and Americana. Highlights include performances by the Tussey Mountain Moonshiners (June 6), Porch Party (July 11), and Acoustic Artifacts with OverheaD (August 8). Every concert offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere—and picnics, chairs, and blankets are encouraged.

Concertgoers can enjoy ice cream cones from Scout Troop 367, with all donations supporting their troop. Additional donations collected at each concert support restoration work on Lemont’s historic buildings, including recent progress on the west wall of the Granary, made possible through grants from The Happy Valley Adventure Bureau and Centre Gives.
