This year’s lineup will bring a lot of enjoyment to family and friends and the Concert Series is an example of the city programs that enhance our quality of life. It is my goal to increase arts and performances in park programming and I look forward to enjoying this year’s talented line-up!”

I want to recognize the Concert Committee for their dedicated efforts.  They have compiled a terrific lineup for 2021.
