MUSIC IN THE PARKS
Enjoy a Variety of Music All Summer Long
The Cultural Arts Division invites you to enjoy our free summer concert series, Music in the Parks, Thursdays June 4 to August 6. This free concert series takes place outdoors at the Municipal Services Center North Lawn, 3600 Tremont Road, from 6:30–8 p.m. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. In the event of rain, the concert will be moved inside to the Council Chamber while concerts at community parks will be cancelled.
The mission of this concert series is to offer a broad range of repertoire and musical styles. This concert series offers outstanding musical excellence, accessibility, and community appeal. The series expands opportunities for local musicians of national acclaim to enrich our community enhancing the musical life of artists who choose to live here. The summer concert series is a success through the generous support of the Ohio Arts Council, Pagetech Limited, 90.5 WCBE and Huffman’s Market. Concert patrons can enjoy cool-creamy free ice cream treats thanks to Huffman's Market.
