(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- Mercer County Executive Dan Benson announced that the Mercer County Park Commission's Summer Concert Series will kick off its 2025 season on July 11. The popular Friday evening concerts continue to be a bargain at just $5 per-ticket, with the addition of a new limited-time season pass option access to all concerts for just $25.
The Summer Concert Series promises seven memorable evenings of community and live music for residents of all ages. As the sun sets, families can bring out blankets and chairs to the expansive Mercer County Park festival grounds, and enjoy a talented lineup of performers offering music from a range of genres and decades. This season includes tributes to Elton John, Billy Joel, The Eagles, Taylor Swift, Chris Stapleton, Earth, Wind, & Fire, plus your favorite yacht rock and country music stars.
The introduction of free parking last year made the concerts more accessible than ever, leading to record attendance. This year, residents can get an even better deal with the season pass, which will include tickets to every concert, preferred parking, fast-pass entry, and exclusive perks throughout the season.
"The Summer Concert Series is our marquee event, bringing affordable, quality entertainment to our region,” said County Executive Dan Benson. “Our new season pass will make it even easier for those who want to take full advantage and I’m proud to confirm that we will continue to offer parking free of charge.”
The series is open to everyone, and children twelve-and-under will be admitted free-of-charge. For more details, or to purchase tickets, click here.
