If you were one of the many fans at Hersheypark for the Forrest Frank concert last night, you experienced how quickly a nice summer evening can change. Pennsylvania weather is known for being unpredictable, and last night, it affected the plans of many concert-goers.

If you feel confused about the sudden change, you are not alone. Here’s what you need to know about the Hersheypark Emergency Shelter Notice, the postponement, and what to do if you plan to attend the new date.

What Happened: The Emergency Shelter Notice

The evening began with all the hallmarks of a great summer show. Fans were arriving, the energy was high, and the logistics were set. However, as severe thunderstorms rolled into the Hershey, Pennsylvania area, the safety of the guests, artists, and staff became the primary focus.

Hershey Entertainment Venues issued an Emergency Shelter Notice to Guests, directing those already at the venue to move under the grandstands, into the Hersheypark Arena, or to return to their vehicles.

Key Takeaways for Affected Guests:

• The Status: The Forrest Frank show has been officially rescheduled.

• The New Date: The show is now taking place today, June 15, at 7:00 p.m.

• Ticket Validity: If you have tickets from the original date, keep them! All previously purchased tickets will be honored for tonight’s performance.

Turning Disappointment Into a Plan

We know that for many, a concert at Hersheypark isn’t just an evening out—it’s a planned trip. Whether you traveled from out of state or just made a weekend out of it, a postponement creates logistical headaches.

If you are currently in the Hershey area, this might just mean an extra night enjoying the local charm. However, if you are unable to make the new date due to work, travel, or scheduling conflicts, don’t panic.

What to Do If You Can’t Attend the New Date

While the venue has confirmed that tickets will be honored for the new date, they understand that life happens. If the June 15 date simply doesn’t work for your schedule:

1. Contact Official Channels: Reach out to the Hershey Entertainment guest services team directly.

2. Stay Informed: Keep an eye on the official Hershey Entertainment Venues social media pages for any further updates or policy changes regarding refunds.

3. Check Your Email: Often, ticketing providers will send automated updates regarding postponed events; double-check your spam folder if you haven’t received official word from the platform where you purchased your tickets.

If there is one thing we learn every summer in Central Pennsylvania, it’s that Mother Nature doesn’t negotiate. When planning a visit to an outdoor venue like Hersheypark, flexibility is your best friend.

Pro-tips for your next outdoor event:

• Monitor the Forecast: Check local weather reports 24 hours before the event, but remember that pop-up storms are common.

• Follow in Real-Time: Turn on notifications for the venue’s social media accounts (specifically X/Twitter). That is where the fastest updates—like the Hersheypark Emergency Shelter Notice—are posted.

• Have a “Plan B”: Always have a rough idea of where you can shelter if you are driving your own vehicle, and keep your mobile devices charged.
