Prepare for a once-in-a-generation musical journey across Pennsylvania. As we approach the nation's 250th anniversary, America250PA invites you to the Commonwealth Concert Series-a five-city, statewide celebration centered on Pennsylvania, the foundation of the American story. These FREE concerts are designed to honor the unique communities and diverse narratives that define the state by providing accessible cultural experiences for all residents. From the birthplace of democracy to the modern cultural hubs of today, each tour stop celebrates the distinct character of its specific region while simultaneously uniting communities through a shared musical experience and historical reflection. Taking place every Saturday from Memorial Day weekend through the end of June 2026, these signature events bring high-caliber, world-class artists to every corner of the state. Because this celebration belongs to everyone, these large-scale performances are completely free to attend.
Doors open one hour before the start of concerts and one hour before tip off of basketball games.
