"Rose Tree’s Summer Festival is a treasured Delco tradition that we know was sorely missed last year, and we are thrilled to bring it back," said Marc Manfre, Director of the Delaware County Parks and Recreation Department. "Our staff members are just as excited as the fans who have been calling and emailing us."

Manfre noted that a few modifications have been implemented this year out of an abundance of caution, such as the addition of hand sanitizing stations, an increase in the frequency of cleaning, and the elimination of concession stands.

As before, the audience should bring blankets and chairs for seating and may bring their own picnic provisions.

Alcohol and smoking are prohibited. Leashed dogs are allowed in the outer viewing areas on the hilltops and must remain outside of "the bowl."

Concerts are weather permitting; there are no rain dates. Admission and parking are free. Handicapped parking is available. For more information please call 610-891- 4455 or visit the series' website online here.
