This year’s Summer Concert Series brings together one of the most dynamic lineups the Borough has presented in recent years — a season that moves from century-old community tradition to modern country-pop, high-energy country rock, full orchestral sound, and the timeless charm of a lantern-lit summer evening by the Stone House Pond.
For years, Wyomissing’s summer concerts have been a familiar and beloved part of the season. In recent years, the Recreation Department has continued to build on that tradition, expanding the series with performers and musical styles that reach across generations while still honoring the community spirit that has always made these concerts special.
The season opens on Sunday, June 7, at 6:00 p.m. on the Wyomissing Borough Hall Lawn with The Wyomissing Band, one of the area’s great musical traditions. Formed in 1923 by Wyomissing founders Ferdinand Thun and Henry Janssen, The Wyomissing Band has been part of the Borough’s story for more than a century, performing at concerts, civic events, church picnics, public gatherings, and community celebrations throughout Berks County.
On Sunday, June 28, at 6:00 p.m. at the Stone House Lawn, Stephanie Grace brings a contemporary country-pop voice to the series. A singer-songwriter from Douglassville, Grace has built her career from the ground up with Nashville-recorded originals that connect through themes of hope, strength, and real-life experience. Her performance adds a fresh, modern singer-songwriter presence to the Wyomissing summer stage.
We're still finalizing the details for Sunday, July 12, at 6:00 p.m. at the Stone House Lawn, but be sure to check back once we confirm our artist.
On Saturday evening, August 1, the series moves indoors for its only auditorium performance of the season, featuring the Reading Pops Orchestra at the Wyomissing Area High School Auditorium. A professional 55-piece orchestra made up of musicians from Reading, Berks County, and surrounding counties, the Reading Pops brings the kind of full, sweeping sound that turns familiar music into something grand, cinematic, and memorable.
The season closes on Wednesday evening, August 5, at the Stone House Lawn and Pond, with The Ringgold Band performing as part of Wyomissing’s annual Children’s Lantern Parade. It is a fitting finale — music, families, tradition, and lanterns glowing around one of the Borough’s most treasured settings. The Ringgold Band, founded in 1852, is recognized as one of America’s first community bands and continues to perform a wide-ranging musical program that includes marches, classics, show tunes, overtures, and traditional band favorites.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, family, friends, and an appreciation for live music in some of Wyomissing’s most welcoming community spaces.
Whether you come for the hometown tradition, the country-pop storytelling, the energy of country rock on the lawn, the power of a full orchestra, or the magic of the Children’s Lantern Parade, this year’s series is built to remind us why live music still matters. It brings people out. It brings people together.
And in Wyomissing, that is what summer is all about.
