WEST BRADFORD TWP — West Bradford Township's Parks and Recreation Commission has announced a full slate of summer 2026 programming, anchored at Broad Run Park and Shadyside Park and running from mid-May through early September. The season opens May 17 with West Bradford Day, followed by free Wednesday-night yoga sessions at Shadyside Park each week through early September. Thursday-night outdoor movies at Broad Run Park will feature titles including SpongeBob, Karate Kid: Legends, Wicked for Good, Zootopia 2 and Down and Derby, with $1 ice cream and pre-show presentations from local organizations such as Lupo Taekwondo, Touch of Class and Boy Scout Troop 52. The concert lineup includes the Tommy Froelich Band, WhiskeyHickon Boys with The FunkWagon Deluxe and the Lenape Brass Ensemble, the latter performing as part of an America 250 celebration.
