(BRISTOL, PA) -- Bristol Riverside Theatre (BRT) has announce the return of its Summer Music Fest. As a result of William Penn Bank's recent merger with Mid Penn Bank, the series will be renamed the 2025 Mid Penn Bank Summer Music Fest, but the fun will remain the same. This year's lineup includes The Bronx Wanderers, Beatles vs. Stones: A Musical Showdown, and Purple Xperience, alongside the uproarious musical comedy Oy Vey! It's The Calamari Sisters. From May through July, audiences will be treated to high-energy performances, timeless classics, and side-splitting comedy that promises to be the highlight of the summer season.
This year, the concerts are back at BRT’s historic, intimate, and recently renovated theater. The theater offers an inviting atmosphere with comfortable seating, free on-site parking, wheelchair accessibility, assisted listening devices, and a full range of concessions, including beer and wine.
“The Mid Penn Bank Summer Music Fest is now a much-anticipated Bristol tradition,” said Co-Producing Director Amy Kaissar. “We look forward to it every summer. What could be a better summer treat than easy free parking, great musical hits, a riverfront view, all while cooling off with delicious gelato in your hand?”
