Live Music Shows Return To Kennywood For 2010
For the past four seasons something has been missing from Kennywood. Since the removal of the Garden Stage at the end of the 2005 season there were no live music shows at Kennywood. In 2010 the music returns to the midway. Two new live music shows will be featured at the Kennyville Stage this summer. Songs of the 80’s and The Beat Goes On featuring songs from the 50’s and 60’s.
Also…The Kenya Safari Acrobats are back and will be performing in the Kennywood Arena.
