🎶 Summer Concert Series Kickoff

West Chester summers have a sound. It is the hum of conversation across a picnic blanket, kids shrieking with laughter near the gazebo, and a band warming up just as the evening light turns golden through the trees. It is Music at Marshall, and it is almost here.

The Friends of Marshall Square Park are proud to kick off our 2026 free concert series with four incredible evenings of live music, community connection, and everything that makes this park so special. New faces and familiar ones are equally welcome.

🎤 2026 Lineup:

June 18 — The Rescue Dogs - PA / Rick's Office Band : Two beloved local acts sharing the stage for a high-energy night of rock, blues, and alternative favorites spanning five decades.

July 9 — Sin Brothers : Chester County's own classic rock, pop, and folk rock favorites. Think Billy Joel, Steely Dan, Van Morrison, and more. A crowd favorite, back by popular demand!

July 30 — Just Add Water Band : A local classic rock powerhouse playing the hits you love from the 50s through the 2000s. Over 20 years on stage and still going strong.

August 20 — Chico's Vibe LLC : Voted Best Live Band by Main Line Times, this 8-piece orchestra brings a full horn section and a setlist spanning Etta James to the Black Eyed Peas. The perfect way to close out the summer.
