BELLEFONTE BUSKERS WILL BRING MUSIC TO THE STREETS ON JUNE 28

The Bellefonte Historical and Cultural Association is doing its best to make Bellefonte more interesting. One way to help our small, charming town emulate a big city is by populating downtown streets with busking musicians. Since foot traffic in Bellefonte can’t compare with that found in the Big Apple, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh, a subsidy is required and BHCA has supplied it.

On Friday, June 28 from 5 to 7 pm, BHCA is hiring two individual musicians and one duo to perform downtown. They include Elijah Snyder, an up-and-coming saxophone phenomenon, and The Stevedores, a duo consisting of Steven Buckalew (mandolin and fiddle) and Steve Crawford (guitar). BHCA is still searching for the third musician to make the coming Friday a musical trifecta for people ambling around town. You will find them all along South Allegheny St. between High and Bishop Streets.

Downtown Bellefonte Inc. is also providing a musician on Friday afternoon near the new mural in the Spring Street parking lot. Where else in Centre County can you hear four music acts in an hour by just walking around? Come wander down Allegheny St. this Friday and bring some folding money to encourage our buskers. If we generate an audience, we will do it again next month.
