Antique and classic vehicles will ring the Diamond and park along adjoining streets. The event features music, a sock hop and more entertainment. Local merchants will offer sidewalk sales.

Party at the pool

An all-ages Foam Party is planned for 6:15 to 8:15 p.m. Friday at Veterans Memorial Pool at Lynch Field in Greensburg.

Attendees can enjoy an evening swim. A foam cannon will be set up on the nearby lawn, shooting out suds for everyone to wade through and play in.

Admission is $5.

The party is hosted by City of Greensburg Parks & Recreation Department. For details, visit Foam Party! on Facebook.

Sweet SummerSounds

The SummerSounds concert series will host the Cuban-born, Nashville-based quintet Sweet Lizzy Project at 7 p.m. Friday in St. Clair Park in downtown Greensburg.

Playing anthemic vocals-and-guitar-driven rock, Sweet Lizzy has opened for Heart and Joan Jett and was featured in Raul Malo’s 2017 documentary for PBS, “Havana Time Machine.”

Pre-show music from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m. will be by Pittsburgh singer/songwriter Jacian Blaze.

Admission is free; donations are accepted to support the concerts that continue weekly through Sept. 2. For details, visit summersounds.com.
