Since 1904, Summer in the Parks has been an important part of the City’s heritage. With the incomparable Marina Park on Lake Superior as the setting, concerts showcase performers presenting a variety of musical styles. In addition to great music, Summer in the Parks evenings feature children’s activities, free draws, a variety of on-site concessions and an artisans’ market. The concerts are held on Wednesday nights throughout the summer from 6 to 9 pm.
Opening Concert Night will take place on Wednesday, July 9, 2014.
