Outdoor Socially Distant Concert Planned Saturday In Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN, PA — A live socially distant concert will be held this Saturday in Doylestown.

Hay Sugar and Shalom Mukamuri will perform a family-friendly concert at 84 E Oakland Ave, Doylestown. Doors open at 6 p.m., music starts at 7:30 p.m.

Hay Sugar is a Doylestown husband and wife duo "channeling Americana roots with slick movin' guitar from Matt and seriously sweet vocals from Madison Leech."

Shalon Mukamuri is a Zimbabwean singer/songwriter who "expresses peace through music."

Concertgoers can bring a picnic. Alcoholic beverages are allowed, according to organizers. Masks are mandatory when not eating or drinking. Kids 10 and under are free.

Bring your own tables, chairs or blankets. There will be safe zones to easily enter and exit the lot and still maintain distancing, organizers said.

Also this weekend in Doylestown Borough, streets will once again be closed to vehicular traffic in an effort to draw shoppers and diners into town. On both Friday and Saturday, Main Street between State and Court streets will be closed to traffic from 5 to 11 p.m.

The latest plan comes after a portion of W. State Street was shut to traffic for the same reason a few days in June. Borough officials said the success of the program last month has prompted them to continue the effort.
