Music in the Pike District

Whether you're listening to a live orchestra, vibing to an artsy acoustic group or jamming out to some hard rock, live music is always a great way to spend your Saturday night. But did you know it can also be good for your health? According to Variety magazine, watching live music increases your sense of self-worth by up to 25%, and may even extend your life expectancy by up to nine years! You'll want to keep planking, of course, but consider adding a little live music to your “me time.” Fortunately, you can catch tons of live music right here in the Pike District! We've put together a list of some great options coming up, so here's to your health!

Here’s a great opportunity to take out some food, take in some music and take over the lawn at Strathmore! Live from the Lawn has a list of free outdoor concerts this summer.

Keeping It Fresh!

Cold craft beer and a different band every Saturday night.
