Roaring Twenties Concert Kicks off Warren County Bicentennial Planning

Thursday, September 1, 2022 - 5:30pm

Warren County will look forward to its bicentennial just a few years away with a look back to the County’s centennial era in the Roaring Twenties with a free, outdoor concert in the town square in front of the Courthouse, featuring  Drew Nugent and The Midnight Society, a “hot jazz” combo based in Philadelphia, PA.

The five-piece combo, featuring Skip Rohrich on drums, Gary Cattley on tuba, Brennen Ernst on guitar, and Joe McDonough on trombone, is led by Drew Nugent on cornet, vocals, teapot and melodica. The group is no stranger to Warren County, having played several times as part of the Shippen Manor Summer Lawn Concerts series.

Attendees are advised to bring lawn chairs or blankets to spread out on the grass and enjoy the concert in the park, which was created in 1825 when Belvidere became the county seat. Historical information exhibits and kids activities will be available.

United Presbyterian Church in Belvidere, located just across from Garret D. Wall Park at 224 Mansfield Street, will serve as the concert location in case of rain and will provide rest rooms for concert attendees. Also, church members will be selling refreshments during the concert.
