Labor Day Weekend Music Festival

Gettysburg Rec Park celebrates Labor Day Weekend with the return of the 2026 Summer Music Fest on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Running from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 545 Long Lane in Gettysburg, PA, the free community festival brings together live music, local food and drinks, and a full day of outdoor entertainment in Adams County.

Earlier in the day, the Adams County Farmers Market takes place from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the main parking area near the Sterner Building as part of the Adams County Field to Festival Trail experience. Visitors can shop fresh produce, baked goods, locally sourced foods, handmade products, and offerings from regional vendors before the music festival begins.

Following a successful first year, the Summer Music Fest returns with performances by Jillian Christine, MetaSped, Heads or Tails Experience, Jake Groft, The Rust Hounds, and Sugar Hysteria. Hosted by Audio & Visual Entertainment and community partners, the event supports the Gettysburg Recreation Park and Skate Park through GARA while highlighting local musicians and community organizations during one of Gettysburg’s busiest holiday weekends.

Free admission, free parking, and open green space make Gettysburg Rec Park a popular Labor Day Weekend destination for live music, local shopping, and family-friendly entertainment in Adams County.
