Chester County Arts and Culture

This is a road trip, but what a lineup!

If you have PTO to burn or are available on a Monday, come join us. We will be hanging out at the State Fair eating corn dogs and petting sheep before the show. Or something similar.

Tickets start at $58 to $93. We will purchase tickets in the lower range but under cover. If you'd like to sit near us, LMK. We will purchase tickets @ June 16th

Please be aware that all shows including concerts, rodeo and demo derby performances in the M&T Bank Grandstand are held rain or shine. The pit, track, and bleacher/stadium seating areas are not covered. The grandstand and club house seating areas are the only areas that are covered. Only dangerous weather conditions at show time will delay a show or cause it to be cancelled.

Parking is free. Here is more info: https://www.delawarestatefair.com/welcome/

Chico's Vibe is the band for the third of four free concerts at this park. Bring a chair, a picnic meal or snack, a beverage. There are also food trucks as early as 5pm that stay until 8pm. I usually don’t get there till 6pm. Wil often gets there earlier to claim our spot and hang balloons.

Please look for the green balloons. We set up across from the stage halfway between the stage and Biddle Street. There’s always plenty of parking within a block or two and this is a free event.

This is a wonderful opportunity to hear Coatesville's own Richard Troxel, a Met Opera tenor, sing a variety of opera and musical classics in support of the Salt Theatre. I've had the pleasure of hearing Richard several times, and he is versatile and polished.
It's only $25 for general admission, which is a steal to hear his amazing voice. (You can also be a "supporter" for $75, which includes a meet-and-greet and post-event dessert.)
The concert will be at the Chester County History Center in High St. in West Chester.

They are expecting a sellout, so if you are at all interested, I wouldn't wait too long to get your ticket. We can meet ahead of time to try to get seats together. Learn more about Richard on his website: https://richardtroxell.tv/home/

No matter what your favorite architectural style is, you'll find it on the streets of West Chester. Each block of the borough sheds light on its history, from its 18th century village beginnings, to its 19th century architectural golden age, and its 20th century struggles to balance the needs of residents and businesses. This is NOT a technical tour, but you will learn about some of the borough's architectural wonders, the culture in the borough that inspired them, and the lives of the people who lived or worked within.
This tour lasts 1.5 hours and covers approximately 1.25-1.5 miles. Begins at the History Center. Terrain is primarily sidewalks, but many are brick and can be uneven. Event is rain or shine, so please dress for the weather. Service dogs are welcome; pets are not permitted on our public walking tours.
Tickets are $16.00 per person; members of CCHC receive a 20% discount (with member code). Once purchased, tickets are NONREFUNDABLE.

You are responsible for buying your own ticket, which are available here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/chestercountyhistorycenter/1734960 [click Purchase Tickets, then scroll to Aug. 14.]

If anyone is interested, we could grab a bite or a beer in downtown WC after the tour.

These tours sometimes sell out, so if you're interested, I'd get your ticket sooner rather than later.
