Summer Means Free Outdoor Music Concerts
By: Leah Hollenberger
Listening to music while hanging out with friends in the park is one of the best things about summer. The fact that we can do this on three nights every single week – for free – is amazing!
I am so grateful to all of the volunteers, musicians, and local sponsors who make these fun events happen. So pack up a picnic dinner or bring some cash, as most have local food vendors providing refreshments, and enjoy!
Here are some of the free local music festivals in the area. Click on the link for their concert line-up and details.
