Music on the Lawn, Matt Hostetter

Singer and songwriter Matt Hostetter

Music on the Lawn returns this summer with more fantastic local bands in James Buchanan’s backyard! This family- (and dog-) friendly event welcomes attendees to relax and enjoy an evening outdoors with live music. September’s concert features Matt Hostetter, a Lancaster-based singer and guitarist whose musical style encompasses American roots like folk, blues, and jazz. 

Registration is required. Walk-ins are welcome. Concerts are rain or shine. LancasterHistory members get in free. Kids are free. Concerts are open to the public, and it’s a $10 donation for Adults. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own blanket or chair and pack a picnic if they like! Dogs on leash are welcome. Reminder: the Tanger Arboretum works really hard to beautify the grounds and keep all living things healthy. We ask that visitors treat the plants, flowers, and trees with extra kindness! No climbing trees, please, as tempting as it is!

 

         Thank you to our 2026 Music on the Lawn sponsors for bringing music to the community!
