 
Summer Concerts
Rock, blues, jazz, and folk! Name the music and you’ll find it at one of our many premiere concerts scheduled throughout the summer. Picnic in the park as you listen to the soulful sounds of Candy Foster, tap your feet to Kayla Brown as you lunch at the gazebo in West Side Park, or dance to the rocking sounds of Run for Cover. We have a wide variety of talented musicians for you to enjoy for FREE!!
Do you know of a good band or want to hear a certain genre? Take a moment and let us know about it and also let us know how we are doing! Survey
