Council discusses moving Concert-in-the-Park to Friday, Aug. 7
Summary
Recreation staff asked council to consider moving the borough’s Concert-in-the-Park from Saturday, Aug. 8 to Friday, Aug. 7 to accommodate the fireworks contractor and possibly increase attendance; staff will proceed using the Friday date unless council directs otherwise.
Recreation staff asked council to consider shifting this year’s Concert‑in‑the‑Park from Saturday (Aug. 8) to Friday (Aug. 7). Staff said a new fireworks contractor is available on weekdays and that a Friday date could make it easier for families to attend after work while simplifying setup and tear‑down around youth sports schedules. The presentation noted that shifting to Friday would not necessarily reduce overtime costs for public works but would ease coordination.
Council members encouraged staff to "give it a shot" and said if attendance does not improve the borough could return to a Saturday date in future years. Staff indicated no formal motion was required and said they would inform vendors and public works to plan for the Friday date while confirming the exact date with event partners.
