Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro joined America250PA to announce the full lineup for the Commonwealth Concert Series, a landmark five-city, statewide celebration honoring Pennsylvania's role as the place where America's story began."America's story started right here in our Commonwealth and Pennsylvanians have played a key role in shaping our nation. My Administration is committed to ensuring everyone can take part in celebrating our history - and this concert series will bring together Pennsylvanians from all across the Commonwealth, giving them an opportunity to celebrate America's 250th Birthday," said Governor Shapiro. "I'm proud that we secured funds in the 2025-26 budget to put on these free concerts - and I'm confident the Commonwealth is ready to put on a once-in-a-lifetime show.""Pennsylvania is the Keystone State for a reason," said Cassandra Coleman, Executive Director of America250PA. "Our role in the founding of this nation is unmatched. The Commonwealth Concert Series honors that legacy by bringing people together in communities across Pennsylvania to celebrate a shared pride in who we are and where we come from. We are thrilled to welcome world-class artists for this series, and we cannot wait to share this moment with our neighbors across the Commonwealth this summer."Speaker List:Governor Josh ShapiroPat Burns, Chairman, America250PACassandra Coleman, Executive Director, America250PA
