Members of Lansford Alive announced the 2023 schedule of performances for its annual “Music in the Park” series. The concerts will be held in the John F. Kennedy Park at the gazebo located at the west end of the borough, next to the Panther Valley School District stadium.

Each concert will run from 6 to 8 p.m.

The concerts run June 4 through Aug. 28 with free admission. Refreshments are sold each week by area nonprofits and student groups. All proceeds from the refreshment stand will benefit Lansford Alive initiatives and area nonprofits.
