Hello all! We have an exciting announcement to share with you! After many conversations, we have come up with a plan to host an adjusted version of our concert series this summer, starting in just a few weeks. All shows will be held on Wednesday nights at 6 PM, as they have in the past. The main difference this year is that we are capping the number of attendants allowed in the park to 50 people. Someone will be located at the top of the hill monitoring how many people are in the park throughout the evening. This precaution follows the New York State guidelines for Phase 4, and will allow all attendants to comfortably sit at least 6 feet apart from other community members. You are allowed to sit with people from your household. We would also like to ask you all to please wear a mask when you are in the park.

For those of you that would rather attend the events virtually, we will be streaming all three shows from Facebook Live! Please follow our page for updates, as we will also be asking folks to support us virtually if we hit the cap of 50 people during the evening.

We always look forward to hosting these concerts and seeing familiar faces gather in the park for an evening of music. Although it will be different this year, we all agreed we wanted to support local musicians, and find a small way for the community to connect... even if it's from a distance!

So without further ado, we are pleased to announce our 2020 season:

July 29th : Richie and Rosie

August 12th: JP and The EasyTigers

August 26th: Whistlin' Dyl

We hope you all will plan to join us in one form or another! Please reach out if you have any questions, or would like more information on our plan for this summer. You can send us a message, or email Laura Brown at [email protected].
