KENNETT SQUARE — Rock the Park 2016, a live concert by local sensation Love Seed Mama Jump, is planned for Kennett Square’s Anson B. Nixon Park on Sunday, September 18. The Park gates at North Walnut Road in Kennett Square open at 2 pm.
Due to a huge turnout in 2015, Love Seed Mama Jump is returning for what promises to be another great show that will get the audience up on their feet and dancing. The six-piece rock band from Dewey Beach, Delaware known for its guitar-driven pop rock is celebrating its 25th year. Their blend of modern beats and melodic hooks are delivered with powerful, impassioned vocals.
Ongoing live music begins as Born Sisters, Kristen and Kara Zack, perform at 2:15 pm. Their captivating sweet-voiced harmonies and self-penned storied lyrics that create a bold American contemporary country sound is followed by Californium, a 3 piece alternative rock band made up of Alec Weaver on drums, Pearce Rush on bass, and George Regester on guitar/vocals. Love Seed Mama Jump takes the stage at 4 pm.
Beer from Two Stones Brewing Company and wine from Paradox Vineyard will be sold to adults. ID is required for those drinking alcohol. Food truck vendors Nomadic Pies, El Ranchero, The Plum Pit, Punked Pineapple and Outlandish will sell a variety of food.
Activities throughout the afternoon include sports demonstrations by the Kennett Area YMCA and Bike Kennett. Face painting and a moon bounce are planned for kids and a selection of Silent Auction items will offer temptations for all.
