BRIDGEWATER — Beaver County Recreation & Tourism announces Dustin Lynch as the official headliner for Boom on the Bridge, the county’s signature summer celebration returning this year with live music, fireworks, food, and community pride along the Ohio and Beaver rivers in Bridgewater.
One of country music’s most consistent hitmakers, Lynch will take the Boom on the Bridge stage June 27 with a catalog of chart-topping songs and a high-energy performance that has made him a fan-favorite nationwide.
“Boom on the Bridge continues to grow into a destination event that brings people together from across Beaver County and beyond,” Commissioner Dan Camp said in a press release. “Securing an artist like Dustin Lynch as our headliner reinforces our commitment to delivering top-tier entertainment while showcasing our region as a vibrant place to live, visit, and celebrate.”
Produced by Beaver County Recreation & Tourism, Boom on the Bridge blends national-caliber live music with local food vendors, family-friendly activities, and a spectacular fireworks finale orchestrated by PUSH Beaver County and Zambelli Fireworks, drawing thousands to the riverfront each year.
“Dustin Lynch is exactly the kind of artist Boom on the Bridge was built for—energetic, engaging, and widely loved,” Tony Caltury, Director of Recreation and Tourism for Beaver County, said. “This announcement reflects how far the event has come and our continued focus on creating memorable experiences that drive tourism and economic impact for our communities.”
Lynch songs “Small Town Boy” and “Hometown Angels” won awards, and his radio hits — including those played on Beaver County Radio — include “Thinkin’ About You” and his Jelly Roll collab, “Chevrolet.”
Prior Boom on the Bridge headliners were country stars Big & Rich and Chris Lane, both on a stage at the Bridgewater-Fallston end of the Veterans Memorial Bridge.
Last year’s festival, with local music headliners Ghost Hounds, took place in a new location, along Bridge Street in Bridgewater.
Further details on this year’s event will be forthcoming.
