Morgantown's Ruby Summer Concert Series ranked among best in America
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. Located at the Hazel Ruby McQuain Amphitheater along the Monongahela River, the series kicks off on June 6. In recent years, big names including Smash Mouth and Plane White T's headlined the series, and in 2025, The Village People, Hinder, and Hoobastank are scheduled to perform. Some north central West Virginia pools push back opening dates 'We are incredibly grateful to all the fans, both near and far, who took the time to vote for us and who continue to show up year after year,' Vincent Kitch, Director of Arts and Cultural Development for the City of Morgantown, said in a press release. 'Their support is what makes the Ruby Summer Concert Series so special. This recognition speaks to our incredible artists, amazing community, and our entire city staff.' The full Ruby Summer Concert Series schedule is available here. All concerts are held on Fridays with opening acts starting at 7 p.m. Food and beverage vendors will be set up in the park for each concert. The concert series that beat Morgantown's in the ranking were the Somers Point Beach Concert Series in Somers Point, New Jersey and the SummerSounds in Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
