The 2020 Summer Festival Concert Series in Rose Tree Park will not take place this year out of concern for the coronavirus, Delaware County officials stated Thursday, July 16.
The concerts may exceed the Governor’s Order limiting outside gatherings to no more than 250 people.
Holding the concerts could also pose a threat to residents, performers, sponsors and staff, according to the release.
“Thank you to the Parks and Recreation Department who work year-round to organize these concerts, which have become a summer favorite for many residents. We look forward to seeing everyone at the amphitheater in 2021!” the release stated.
Free concerts at Rose Tree Park’s outdoor amphitheater began in 1975. It was initially part of a county two-year Bicentennial celebration but the tradition of the concerts continued well past the two-year mark and has become an anticipated summer event for county residents.
Concerts feature a wide range of music, often performed by local artists and groups, including classical, Cajun, Motown, Broadway, Doo Wop, Rock, and Pop.
