Bring your family, friends, and neighbors again this summer for our music jam concerts! June, July, and August on the second Saturdas at 6 PM.
These concerts on the east lawn are in the shade and they’re a joyful time of fellowship. You are welcome to bring a picnic or snacks, and children can play on the playground.
