TWILIGHT CONCERTS

June 24 – September 2, Wednesdays 6 PM - 8PM

The Art & Cultural Commission has a rich history of providing for the community a wide variety of visual and performing art events. The tradition of the Wednesday Night Twilight Concerts continues in the Esplanade Park. Families and friends are encouraged to come and listen to an array of musical styles from jazz, western, latin, swing, orchestra to good old rock & roll. The bands will perform from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Bring a picnic supper and chairs to sit on either in the park or on the beach while enjoying the music filled sunset. A blanket and warm jackets are always a good idea as the summer weather can bring the fog.
