THE CAMPIAGN TO REPAIR AND RENEW LONG'S PARK AMPHITHEATER
Sunday evening concerts at Long's Park have been a hallmark of Lancster summers for more than sixty years.
Rejuvenating the Amphitheater will ensure that free conerts for our entire community continue for the next sixty years

WHY THIS CAMPIAGN MATTERS
A LANCASTER TRADITION WORTH PROTECTING
Since 1962, Long's Park Amphitheater has hosted free summer concerts that have become a cherished part of Lancaster County life. Families gather on blankets, friends reconnect, and music lovers of all ages experience performances from nationally recognized artists in one of the region's most beloved outdoor venues.
Today, that tradition faces a critical challenge. The Amphitheater's iconic roof has exceeded its expected lifespan and must be replaced to keep the venue safe and operational. Without these improvements, the future of free concerts at Long's Park is at risk.
