There are no trash receptacles in the park. Premium parking fees apply from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free parking is available in Overflow Parking. Concerts will conclude at sunset and we ask that you gather all of your things and exit the park swiftly. To ensure the success of this effort, please respect the park and enjoy this free community event.”
Although the July 12 event was canceled due to wet conditions, the Monday, July 19 event will feature Front Porch Blues at the picnic shelter at Fort Williams.
