MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Looking to go to one of the best outdoor summer concert series in the country? The free Ruby Summer Concert Series in Morgantown was top-ranked in a recent list.
The list of best outdoor concert series to attend this summer by USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice Awards was published on May 21; Morgantown's series was ranked 3rd-best. The free concert series is meant to have something for everyone, from local artists to big-name acts.
