It seems there are a lot of big events going on in West Chester this month. Over the weekend, cyclists from across the country rolled into downtown West Chester for the Third Annual Iron Hill Twilight Criterium.
This weekend will mark the 25th anniversary of the Turks Head Music Festival. Eleven bands that range from reggae to rock will take the stage at Everhart Park Sunday and play throughout the day. The event is free and runs from noon until 8 p.m.
To celebreate the 25-year anniversary of the event, the borough's Parks and Recreation Department, as well as the Turks Head Committee, thought of a new twist for this year's event: Soundbites. People can purchase wristbands for $15 at Borough Hall on East Gay Street. The wristbands will give people free admission to Barnaby's, Ryan's Pub, Baxter's, Spence Cafe, Doc Magrogan's Oyster House and Iron Hill Brewery and Restaurant on Friday night. Bands playing at Turks Head will be playing at those bars that night.
The money will go to the borough's "Send a Kid to Camp" fund, which helps needy families send their kids to a summer camp.

Most of those bars have free admission anyway, so what exactly are people getting for their $15? Fitzpatrick said that they didn't want this associated with cheap drink specials, but that is why people would buy the wrist bands. If they had and promoted drink specials it would be a much bigger success. I can't imagine this bringing in much money.
I think the real purpose of the event is not only to showcase some of the bands playing at this festival, but to raise money for the "Send A Kid to Camp Fund." And yes, a lot of those places are already free, but I'm assuming some of them will have cover charges that night, if there is live music. I could be wrong, though.
