Our free summer concert series is back!  Please join us for some great music at the trolley shelter, located on Blackstone Boulevard at the intersection with Elmgrove Avenue.

Concerts will be held on alternate Wednesdays, starting June 29,  from 6:00 – 7:30. If it rains the concert will be moved to the following Wednesday, but check this site to confirm.

Limited seating will be available for early birds, and there is plenty of room for your own folding chairs and  picnic blankets.  Enjoy dining while you listen?  Food trucks will be available or you can bring your own treats.

  1. Mike says:

    Loved the Automatics, but you left out the keyboard players name. I think he was the reason that the band did the gig.

    I liked the whole series. Thank You to the three sponsors.
