Middle Township announces lineup for free Summer Concert Series
Popular events return to Ockie Wisting Recreation Complex
The Summer Concert Series returns to the Ockie Wisting Complex on Tuesdays from July 6 to Aug. 31.
Middle Township’s Summer Concert Series didn’t miss a beat last year. The outdoor events proceeded with social distancing and other COVID safety protocols.
But with many restrictions lifted, this year’s concerts are expected to bring bigger crowds back to the Ockie Wisting Recreation Complex.
The Township originally planned a seven-show concert series, but has added an eighth musical act.
“We are thrilled to announce that through the generosity of several local business owners, we have been able to add the Sensational Soul Cruisers to our 2021 Summer Concert lineup,” Mayor Tim Donohue said. “This legendary band will be bringing the Motown sound and Rockin’ the Ock to start our Concert Series!”
The events will be held from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays from July 6 to Aug. 31, except for Aug. 3, when National Night Out festivities will be held at the Goshen Complex.
Middle Township expects to expand on the number of food trucks and vendors that took part last summer.
Here is the lineup of musical acts, many of which are returning favorites to the Summer Concert Series.
July 6 – Sensational Soul Cruisers
July 13 – Best of the Eagles
July 20 – Animal House
July 27 – Shot of Southern
August 10 – Independence Day
August 17 – The Big House Band
August 24 – Don’t Call Me Francis
August 31 – Rocktologists
Concertgoers who arrive early can take in some of the fun features at the Ockie Wisting Complex, which includes walking trails, a wildlife observation deck, boardwalk and fishing pier at the pond, picnic area and playground. There’s also a regulation-size disc golf course and soccer fields.
The concerts will be live streamed on Middle Township’s Facebook page.
