The Old Barracks Museum is set to celebrate history, music and warm summer evenings with the third annual Taptoe Concert Series.
This event recreates a summer evening in the 18th century, when the musick and the guard would march about a garrison town signaling the time for the taverns to close their taps and for the soldiers to return to their barracks.
The Fife and Drums of the Old Barracks as well as the Barrack’s Band of Musick is set to perform.
Beginning at dusk, the evening will illuminated with dramatic lighting by torches, candles, and spotlights. These concerts are the only Taptoe concerts in the northeastern United States.
Summer Taptoe concerts are scheduled for July 26 and Aug. 2. The gates are set to open at 7 p.m. and the music begins 8 p.m.
Ticket prices are $25 for reserved balcony seating with refreshments and $10 for lawn seating.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Old Barracks Museum and the Fifes and Drums of the Old Barracks, a nonprofit organization.
The Old Barracks Museum is located at 101 Barrack Street, Trenton.
