Get Out: Drama, Salsa and Rocknocerous

Free summer concert season will be coming to an end soon, at least until Musikfest begins. Until then, enjoy the free music at the Bethlehem Sculpture Garden with a performance by 3rd Street Blues--the last in this year's series.

At the Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley, the QNB free series will continue with Peripheral Vision rocking the Town Square Friday night. Big Shot, a high energy Billy Joel tribute band, will be blowing the lid off SteelStacks.

If you're in the mood for some baseball, catch the IronPigs on their home field as they battle the Columbus Clippers all weekend long.

For theater lovers, the PA Shakespeare Festival will continue with a performance of Hamlet on Friday and Pride & Predjudice on Saturday.

Finally, take the kids to the Musikfest Cafe to see the Rocknocerous for a moving and grooving Sunday evening. To get yourself moving and grooving, take a trip to the Allentown Brew Works for their Sunday Night Salsa and cha cha your way into Monday.
