Port Allegany Women's Club

Every Thursday evening starting at 6:00PM during the month of June, bring your families and friends for Concerts on the Town Square in Port Allegany. Each week a diverse musical performance will entertain you until dusk at the Town Square Gazebo at Main Street and Route 6.

Jazz, country, folk, bluegrass and gospel are some of the performers on the calendar schedule. Bring your favorite lawn chairs or a big blanket to spread out on the grass. It’s a casual summer evening of warm breezes and great music for all ages.

With free admission, free parking and free entertainment everyone can attend. If you prefer to enjoy picnic style dining during the concert there will be refreshments and beverages for purchase. The menu offers a variety such as grilled hot dogs (with the works!), sausage sandwiches, crisp fresh salads, snack packs, and cold drinks. For dessert there will be a large choice of home baked goodies to satisfy your cravings (take some home with you). You don’t want to miss a single week of fun, food and fantastic entertainment in the friendly town of Port Allegany.

No rain dates.

These events are hosted by the Port Allegany Women’s Club for the Summer of 2007.
