Free Concerts To Continue This Summer Thanks to Calaveras Arts Council
Calaveras County, CA....Providing free music as a focal point for bringing people together as community is what the Calaveras Arts Council had in mind 17 years ago when it first presented its summer series of “Music in the Parks.” Once again, starting June 18 until August 20, the concerts will happen every Wednesday night at 6:30 pm in a different town park. These concerts have become one of the most popular on-going public summer events in the county....
People bring picnics, their own chairs, socialize with friends and listen to a vast diversity of music styles. Over the season, expect to hear everything from “jazz-grass” to blues, and from cowboy swing to gypsy violin. If all the fun music isn’t enough to grab you, then experiencing the unique venues at each of the 10 locations is another reason to go. For example, never been to West Point? Here is your excuse. This year, on July 30, the always popular Black Irish Band will perform on the grounds of West Point Elementary School.
The concerts may be free, but the bands are not, and due to gas prices this year, performer fees are getting higher, according to a spokesperson of the non-profit Calaveras Arts Council. That’s why underwriters are needed to sponsor the concerts in exchange for advertising in the Event Program which is distributed at all ten concerts and at local stores and wineries. To get the info on the tax deductible ad rates, call the council at (209)754-1774. In the meantime, here’s the Schedule. Let the fun begin!
