If you are strolling up and down Hackettstown's business district on a summer's evening during the months of July and August, you are likely to hear the sound of music filling the air. It will be worth your while to follow that sound because the Hackettstown Business Improvement District (BID) is running it's 3rd Annual Free Summer Concert Series in 2009. This summers offering includes four bands, from rock to country western, to doo wop, each performing at different Hackettstown business locations on performance nights. Four local businesses from lower Mountain Avenue up to the Main Street business corridor will be showcased, as well as many stores and restaurants which will be open throughout the evening.

The Summer Concert Series is being "Powered By" Grand Rental Station, located at 105 Maple Avenue, Hackettstown through their donation of a generator for each evening's concert.
