CELEBRATE SUMMER WITH FRIENDS

Start your weekend early with the First Financial Bank Takeover

Weekends start early in West Chester with The Takeover presented by First Financial Bank. Party with us all summer on Thursday nights, 6 -9 p.m. on The Square @ Union Centre.

The Takeover features live party music from fan-favorite local bands, along with some new music. Headlining this year on July 21st is Los-Angeles based Earth to Mars; The Bruno Mars Experience, a funk band guaranteed to get the crowd dancing.

Support local at The Takeover by grabbing dinners from local food trucks, including The Cone and Big Dogs Pizza.

Sales of alcoholic beverages benefit local non-profit organizations thanks to local hometown beer makers DogBerry Brewing and Grainworks Brewing Company (on a rotating schedule), as well as West Chester-based Ohio Eagle Distributing (every concert).

Outside alcohol cannot be brought into the park. Every beer purchase helps support this year’s non-profit liquor permit partners including VFW Post 7696, American Legion Post 681, Rotary Club of West Chester/Liberty, Union Centre Boulevard Merchant Association (UCBMA), St. John the Evangelist Knights of Columbus #13608, C3 Caring Community Collaborative and West ChesterUnion Township Historical Society.
