An upcoming event will bring music to the river, for a good cause.
The Harrisburg Area Riverboat Society, which operates the Pride of the Susquehanna, will host the Steve Rudolph Trio at the Harrisburg Beach Club to raise funds to help keep the boat afloat.
The fundraiser will take place at the beach club on City Island, from 7 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 19.
The riverboat has not launched this season, as repairs and updates were needed. Additionally, the society said that the river level has been too low recently to launch.
“With the needed repairs and maintenance completed, the dryer than normal summer has prevented the pride from reentering the Susquehanna,” said Michael Chapaloney, executive director. “Thanks to our neighbors at the Harrisburg Beach Club we are able to present an evening reminiscent of our popular ‘Jazzin’ series while generating revenue for the Pride.”
Attendees will be encouraged to make a $10 donation, and the Harrisburg Beach Club will donate 10% of the proceeds from the evening to the society. There will also be a raffle for a prize basket.
Tickets for the event can be reserved online, here, and will be available in person on the night of the concert.
