Join 1M readers — including managing directors and principals at some of Wall Street’s largest institutions — who trust The Daily Upside to filter through the chaos.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — This Saturday, June 13, Kerr Park in Downingtown will host the annual Summer Jam from 4 to 9 p.m. — a free community concert organized by the Downingtown Main Street Association in partnership with Righteous Felon. Set in the field beside the park's gazebo, the event offers an evening of live music, food, and drinks at no cost to attendees. Ndichu opens the show, followed by headliner Cordelia Blue. Hungry concertgoers will find plenty to choose from, with vendors including Cousins Maine Lobster, Good Girls on the Go!, Mini Millie's Pasta Cart, The Nacho Depot, Shimpy's BBQ, Rosie's Kettle Corn, and Alsie's Ice Cream on the dessert side. The beer garden will feature Dressler Estate, East Branch Brewing Company, and R Five Wines, with Kind Juice Bar also on hand. The event is open to all ages and free to attend.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — As part of a broader Lead Service Line Replacement Program, Aqua Pennsylvania is sending representatives door-to-door through the end of October to survey and inspect residential water service lines. The effort targets only customers whose records are incomplete — meaning those whose line materials have not yet been documented. Homes found to have lead or galvanized service lines will have those lines replaced at no cost to the homeowner. Local residents who are contacted should feel comfortable participating, as the inspections are a proactive public health measure aimed at safeguarding drinking water quality in the Downingtown area. Those with questions can call Aqua's lead program call center at 1-866-756-2782 or find additional details on the Aqua Pennsylvania website.

DOWNINGTOWN, PA — The Downingtown Borough Shade Tree Commission has an open seat, and local officials are hoping a community-minded resident will step up to fill it. The appointed, unpaid position — with a term expiring in June 2029 — puts volunteers at the center of decisions about Downingtown's green infrastructure, from recommending tree plantings and removals to protecting the woodlands and stream buffers that help define the borough's landscape. Commissioners also serve an educational role, helping neighbors understand how trees contribute to both environmental health and quality of life. No professional expertise is required — just borough residency and the ability to attend public meetings at Borough Hall. Those interested can apply on the borough's website by submitting a short application form, a letter of interest, and a resume.

CHESTER SPRINGS, PA — For those looking to slow down and try something creative this weekend, Historic Yellow Springs is hosting the Weaving Wild Workshop on Saturday, June 13, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Geared toward beginners, the full-day session covers the essentials of frame loom weaving — from loom setup to finishing a small wall hanging participants can bring home. The workshop incorporates a range of fiber types, including animal, plant-based, and synthetic materials, allowing attendees to explore texture and technique as they go. No prior experience is needed, and the relaxed format is designed to foster both creativity and a sense of connection through the craft. Spots are limited, and registration is available through the Historic Yellow Springs website.
