Hanson, Ruben Studdard, More Headed To Camden County For Summer Park Concerts

CAMDEN COUNTY, NJ — Camden County's Summer Parks Concert Series will have a little for everyone — from "MMMBop" to Grammy-winning hip-hop to opera and more.

Each summer, Camden County holds a series of free concerts at several outdoor venues — plus a July 4th concert and fireworks show at the Camden City waterfront. Performances will kick off next month.

The acts include several accomplished musicians across different genres, plus a few performers who achieved some mainstream success. The lineups include Hanson, Grammy-winning hip-hop group Arrested Development, and "American Idol" winner Ruben Studdard, who will sing Luther Vandross.

"This summer will be full of fun, free, and engaging activities for our residents to enjoy," said County Commissioner Jeffrey Nash, liaison to the Camden County Parks Department. "Each year, we are excited to announce these events that will get our residents out of their homes and into the community to enjoy free music and company."
