ArtsQuest will be announcing the return of its special July 4th Celebration by the end of this week.

“We are extremely excited to return to our roots and offer live music that brings our community together, something that’s especially important during these challenging times we are just starting to emerge from,” says ArtsQuest Chief Programming Officer Patrick Brogan. “As a small nonprofit that has been closed since mid-March, we know how hard all of our independent business and artists have been hit by this pandemic.

“Each year, we support hundreds of small businesses and performers, and this is our first opportunity to resume providing opportunities for them to support their livelihood. We encourage the community to come out and support them.”

The Air Products Town Square and first floor of the ArtsQuest Center are the only portions of building open at this time.

ArtsQuest is working on plans to reopen both the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas and the Musikfest Café presented by Yuengling in July and will announce plans for those two venues by early in July.
