Summerfest Concert Featuring e Amish Outlaws

BRICK – Brick Township’s SummerFest presented by Pine Belt Cars continues on July 13 with the return of a SummerFest favorite – the Amish Outlaws. SummerFest is the best free family event in Ocean County.

In addition to great music, each concert has a food court serving great foods and drinks, a beer and wine garden and ends with a dazzling fireworks display. SummerFest is always free to attend.

The Amish Outlaws are simply one of the most popular bands to ever play SummerFest. Their energetic shows and eclectic setlists always get the crowd dancing, singing and cheering along. According to their website, “Four out of the original six members of The Amish Outlaws were born and raised in Lancaster, PA and had a strict Amish upbringing. No electricity from land lines, no alcohol, no musical instruments, but their spirits were too wild for the Amish lifestyle. Once they trampled in the Devil’s Playground, there was no turning back.

In the years since Rumspringa, the members of the Amish Outlaws have become very well acclimated to the pleasures and vices of the modern world… music, most of all.” This concert promises to be a fun night so get there early and get ready to dance!
