LOCK HAVEN — Commonwealth University-Lock Haven has planned a full schedule for students and their families during a Family Weekend celebration Oct. 6 to 8. Events will kick off on Friday, Oct. 6 with a concert at the Roxy Theatre featuring popular area bands beginning at 6:30 p.m. with Kate & the Alchemists, followed by DuMM at 8 p.m.

The concert is also open to the public and the campus trolley will be operating during the evening from the campus to downtown and back again.

“The goal of the event is to develop an ongoing program that will encourage students and faculty to visit, shop and dine downtown. This is an important first step in not only reestablishing university relationships downtown but also to bring the campus to Main Street and later Main Street to the campus,” said Stephen Lee, Lock Haven campus administrator. “We view this partnership with the community as essential for student well-being and recruitment.”

CU-Lock Haven plans to make this an ongoing program with several events during 2023 and 2024. To buy tickets, visit roxymovie.com or call 570-748-7699. For a full list of Family Weekend events, visit www.lockhaven.edu/familyday.
