Summer is right around the corner, and Voorhees Township will once again offer the opportunity to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
The Voorhees Township Committee looks forward to the summer of 2026 and our annual Thursday summer concert series on the Great Lawn at Connolly Park. We are excited to present another fun-filled summer of free entertainment. All shows are free and start at 7 p.m. Blankets or chairs are encouraged.
The first show on June 25 will feature Gilligan Yacht Rock. The group specializes in smooth sounds and timeless hits of the 1970s and ’80s and will transport you to a simpler time when life was laid back and the music was smooth. The second show on July 23 will host Stealing Savanah. The band’s show will include a full-band electric setup, a stripped-down acoustic experience and intimate trio and duo performances.
The FM Band will take the stage on Aug. 20 with a diverse setlist, from covers of classic rock anthems to throwback jams and modern hits. The band is a staple of the South Jersey and Philly music circuit.
The concert series is made possible through the generosity of our sponsors: Archer & Greiner PC, Columbia Bank, Conner Strong and Buckelew, Environmental Resolutions, PKF O’Connor Davies, Saddlehill Winery and Farmhouse Kitchen, The Bank of Princeton and VHR Rental & Supply/Voorhees Hardware Inc.
The shows will include a variety of food trucks and there will be plenty of free parking. Please note that the dog park will be closed during all events. Pets, alcohol, smoking and vaping are prohibited.
