Free Concert in Riverton Park

Independence Day festivities start early in Riverton, Burlington County, as the town welcomes the Chicago 9 Tribute Band and Craig Bickhardt for a free concert on Sunday, June 26.

The Riverton 4th of July Committee and local music supporters Circle of Friends team up to present this concert as a run-up to July Fourth fun. The Concert in the Park will take place at Riverton’s Memorial Park, with restaurants offering food for sale at 5 p.m. before the music starts at 5:30 p.m.

Chicago 9 performs throughout the Philadelphia-Atlantic City region, recreating the blend of rock, pop, jazz and soft music in songs like “If You Leave Me Now,” “Saturday in the Park” and “Hard to Say I’m Sorry.” It has been called the premier Chicago tribute band in the Delaware Valley.

Seasoned musician Craig Bickhardt and his band of featured performers returns to Riverton for a second year. Backed by his acoustic guitar and worthy stage partners, Bickhardt is an old-school rocker who weaves in folk, blues, country and ragtime influences.

Fans of all ages are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and bug spray. In case of bad weather, this concert will not be relocated rescheduled.

The free Concert in the Park is one of several events organized by the Riverton 4th of July Committee. For complete details on all events, visit www.riverton4thofjuly.com.
