The Walk In Art Center in Schuylkill Haven is ending its summer concert series with a Labor Day Blowout on Sunday, Sept. 3 with Penn State Main Campus’ favorite band, Velveeta.

The concert is planned for the WIAC’s Outdoor Concert Space and starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10.

Velveeta was formed in State College in 1995 by some musicians as a fun little side project to play some fun cheesy 1980s music.

Little did anyone know that the side project would last this long and evolve into this a band that expanded their song selection and has performed far and wide.

From backyard parties to bars and clubs to weddings and corporate events to internet streams, Velveeta has done it all.

Almost 30 years later, the group continues to win the “Best of State College” poll in the local newspaper.

“These guys are so fun,” says Jacquie Engel, the WIAC’s executive director. “We hope to have our new performance pavilion erected by then to end the summer with a cool outside bash.” In the event of rain or construction delays, the concert will be held in the Walk In’s Main Gallery.

“I’m so excited to be in town for Velveeta this year,” said Mandy Fitzpatrick, Penn State alumnus and director of Schuylkill County’s VISION. “I told Jacquie about them but couldn’t see them last summer.”

Beverages will be available at the concert.
