Summer Fun is About to Begin!

It's hard to believe tomorrow begins the month of May! As a member of the Emmaus Special Entertainment Commission (SEC), this now has a whole new meaning to me. It's the beginning of so many great summer events for Emmaus and our surrounding communities!

Traditionally, the SEC has scheduled the free Sunday night concerts in the Emmaus Community Park's Performing Arts Pavilion.We're actually celebrating our 34th year of free music in the park!

Many don't know about it, but that's all about to change. And we've added a whole slew of exciting new events to enhance the summer program.

To make sure everyone is in the loop, here is a brief summary of what we have planned for folks this summer. Also look for our printed 2013 SEC Schedule which will soon be available throughout town! The schedule of Sunday bands can also be found on the Emmaus Borough Website or at our SEC Facebook page.

All events take place at the Emmaus Community Park.
