What’s Coming on the Calendar at Travels With The Post

POTTSTOWN PA – The sounds of music are all over the weekend edition (Thursday through Sunday, Feb. 20-23) of the Travels With The Post calendar.

It starts Thursday with the Bach’s Lunch concerts in Trappe. It picks up Thursday night with a performance on Ursula the Pipe Organ in Sanatoga. Find a Queen tribute band Friday in Pottstown, and Atomic Blonde and the Sneaks in Royersford. On Saturday, enjoy a Black History Month concert in Boyertown, and a U2 tribute band in Pottstown.

The weekend also offers more than a dozen activities at no cost.

On average, up to half of calendar events listed here are in some way free. The remainder have fees (labeled as “ticketed”). Some have limitations, require registrations, or impose conditions. Depending on location, others may be affected by the weather. Hint: if unsure, call before you go.

Each weekday or weekend listing includes a green-colored link for more information.

No community calendar is ever “complete.” This one is updated regularly, and the contents are constantly changing. Stop back regularly to see what’s new. Got an event you’d like to add? E-mail it to travelswiththepost@gmail.com.
