We’re crossing the bridge! We have four concerts this year, two in Aliquippa at Uncommon Grounds Cafe, and two in Ambridge. All events will have food offerings, and music begins at 7 p.m. Concerts are free and open to the public. Thank you to the Pittsburgh Foundation and Greater Pittsburgh YWCA for making these concerts possible.
