From 4-7pm, local young musicians will entertain the crowd with a variety of musical styles, you'll have the chance to win various raffle items, and you'll get to enjoy the beautiful space that the Midtown Scholar offers with a cup of coffee in hand.
The $5 admission fee at the door, and all tips and raffle proceeds will go to benefit Common Roads as we approach another school year. Common Roads provides education, programming, and advocacy to LGBTQ youth and allies in central Pennsylvania.
