So whether you're coming in from out of town or just moving across the Main Line, we’ve rounded up our favorite things to do in Ardmore, PA in June 2025—perfect for filling your weekends between open houses.

Eat, Shop, and Stroll at Suburban Square

Catch a Summer Concert (or Two)

Wondering what kind of Main Line summer events are happening this month? You’ll love the outdoor concert series at Schauffele Plaza and the Suburban Square Lawn. Every week brings a mix of live music, food trucks, and family-friendly vibes. It’s casual, fun, and a great way to meet locals (or scope out your future neighbors!).

Bring a blanket, kick back on the grass, and let the music set the tone. It’s one of those things that makes the Ardmore lifestyle so welcoming—you’re always just a stroll away from something happening.

🎧Tip: These events often pop up on Suburban Square’s Events Page, so keep an eye out while you're in town.

Take a Nature Break at the Park

When you're deep in house hunting mode, sometimes the best thing you can do is take a break and touch some grass—literally. South Ardmore Park and Vernon V. Young Memorial Park are both nearby, offering shady trails, open fields, and playgrounds where kids (or pets) can let loose.

Even better? These green spaces are woven into the neighborhood, so they’re easy to walk or bike to. We always encourage our buyers to spend time in the community outside of showings—it’s the best way to visualize your future here.
