Chester 250 Donations
On Sunday, June 14, 2026, our community will gather at Municipal Field for Chester 250—a once-in-a-century celebration of a 250-year journey!
We are planning an unforgettable day of community spirit, including live music all day long! We are thrilled to announce that the high-energy, tri-state favorite New Power Soul will be taking the stage as our Main Stage Headliner at 5:30 PM. It’s a show you won’t want to miss!
We would also like to extend a special thank you to our current Sponsors whose generous support makes this historic day possible: Chester Lions Club, Kessler Institute, American Fed. Mortgage, Brian & Mary Murphy, Chester Meat Market, Alstede Farms, and Hyde & Associates.
