This free series runs throughout the Summer each year, with a concert from a different local music group every Friday night in June and July from 7 – 8:30 PM. The diverse lineup is announced in late Spring each year, and offers fun entertainment for all ages throughout the Summer season.
Of these free, outdoor shows, the first seven will run June 5 through July 17 on the front steps of Lakewood Public Library (15425 Detroit Avenue) followed by two concerts at Madison Park Pavilion (13201 Madison Avenue) on July 24 and July 31.
