MILFORD — As local schools celebrate the final days of class, residents and business owners in Milford are ready to party.
The means it's time for the Milford Music Festival, the annual summer kickoff now in its 16th year. This weekend, June 23-25, offers more than 60 musical performances in 30 different venues throughout the borough, along with several additional family-friendly activities.
Milford Music Festival kicks-off with a Blues Jam at the Waterwheel Café and Bar on Thursday night. Guitarist Chris Raabe hosts this Milford tradition from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. as he welcomes local favorites and traveling talent to the stage.
This banner weekend for Milford also features the annual Strawberry Festival Flea Market and Craft Sale at the Methodist Church, a Flea Market at the Presbyterian Church on Broad Street, a book and yard sale at the Milford branch of the Pike County Library, and a craft exhibit at The Artisan Exchange on Saturday with Milford’s weekly Milford Farmers Market from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.
The festival Street Team will be cruising the festival all weekend long with free information to help visitors navigate performance venues and make lunch and dinner plans.
Milford Music Festival is hosted by the nonprofit Milford Presents and produced in partnership with Green Valley Farms Market and Creamery, Wells Fargo and the hosting businesses.
A complete schedule and location map is available online along with a full listing of upcoming events in and visitor information at the Milford Presents website MilfordPA.us.
