Middletown Township will be the site of live outdoor concerts with social distancing in place.
The township Parks and Recreation Department and Falls Township-based Mid Atlantic Event Group teamed up for the upcoming Drive-In Concert Series that will be hosted at the parking lot of the former Boscov’s parking lot at the Oxford Valley Mall.

The event will enforce safety protocols.
“I can’t think of a better way to not only give people a genuine live concert experience, but to give back to the community,” said Kyle Kelly, president of Mid Atlantic Event Group. “The greater Philadelphia area has been through a lot in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it’s time they get out and enjoy themselves for a safe evening — to get out of the house, to get away from their troubles, and to remember what it was like to enjoy a live concert experience — and our drive-in concert series does just that.”

In a statement, the township said there are more socially distant concerts for August and September in the works.
Mid Atlantic Event Group has been hosting outdoor movie events with a similar format in Falls Township and Lower Makefield.
