ArtsQuest, in partnership with the City of Allentown, announces the return of ArtsQuest’s Friday Concerts at Union Terrace Amphitheater, presented by Lehigh Valley Health Network, part of Jefferson Health, for a second consecutive summer season.

Following a successful inaugural year, the free, family-friendly concert series returns to the historic Union Terrace Amphitheater with an expanded and diverse lineup designed to bring the community together through live music, culture and shared experiences in the heart of Allentown.

The series will once again invite residents of Allentown — as well as visitors from across the Lehigh Valley, to enjoy live performances in a relaxed, open-air setting. All concerts will run from 6 to 9 p.m., and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets.

“We have been eager and excited to return to Union Terrace since the moment the last notes ended in September. To be able to build on the momentum of last year and bring this series back to Union Terrace for a second summer presents an opportunity for growth of the festivities,” said Patrick Brogan, Chief Programming Officer at ArtsQuest. “The partnership with the City of Allentown continues to grow into something very special — creating access to live music, celebrating local, regional and nationally touring talent and giving people a place to come together and connect through the shared experience of music under the night sky.”
