It’s that time of year again when bands rock the stage at the annual Concerts in the Park series June 22 through July 27.
This is the 28th season of Concerts in the Park, hosted by Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce.
‘We are looking forward to this year,? said Executive Director Penny Shanks. ‘We have all new bands as headliners this year.?
Shanks will be working alongside Maureen Murphy-Boyd and Carol Peters, co-chairs for Concerts in the Park.
‘They bring a lot of energy to the committee and this whole event,? said Shanks.
Included at this year’s concession stand will be The Chocolate Moose, who will be offering Mackinac Island Creamery ice cream.
Another concession stand will rotate among non-profit organizations, such as Rotary Club, Optimists, and Clarkston Village Players.
‘It has been a lot of fun, and we get a wonderful response,? said Murphy-Boyd.
The Concerts in the Park series offers families of all ages a time to enjoy the summer season together, while picnicking and enjoying a variety of musical styles at Depot Park.
‘I’ve done concerts for a couple years and the bands that the chamber brings in, keep getting better and better,? said Peters. ‘I think Penny has definitely stepped up the group.?
All concerts are held in Depot Park, located just west of Main Street on Depot Road in downtown Clarkston.
Admission is free and concerts run from 7-9 p.m. Concert goers are encouraged to bring their own picnic blanket, sport chair, or beach chair. Come out early to hear the Local Talent Spotlight at 6:30 p.m.
