Portland Announces Outdoor Summer Concert Series
Today, the City of Portland announced the line-up for this year’s Summer Outdoor Concert Series featuring folk music at sunset along the Western Prom, kids’ fun at Deering Oaks and anything from blues to gospel to rock reggae along the Eastern Promenade. The concert series are sponsored by Portland Recreation, Families of the Western Prom Neighborhood, Maine Red Claws, Quirk Chevrolet, Friends of Eastern Promenade, Cabot Cheese, State Theatre, Betty Winterhalder Fund, Poland Spring, the Jacks Family, Ocean Gate Realty, Bangor Savings Bank, Portland Maine Rentals and the Willey Trust. When the funding for the Summer in the Parks Concert series was eliminated several years ago, local groups and businesses organized and stepped forward to keep the much beloved concerts in the community.
The concerts feature a wide array of local musical talent from the camp songs of Jon Call at the Crusher’s Kids Concerts in the Park at Deering Oaks to the musical stylings of Darien Brahms set to perform during the Sunset Folk Series at the Western Prom. Residents of all ages are encouraged to pack a picnic and enjoy some of the city’s popular open spaces while listening to these free live performances. Throughout the summer, the concerts organized by the city’s Recreation & Facilities Management Department will be held at Deering Oaks Park Bandstand, Western Promenade Park, and the Fort Allen Park Bandstand. Attendees should bring a chair or blanket and sit back and enjoy the performances. For more information about the concerts, visit the city’s website at www.portlandmaine.gov/rec/summer.htm or contact the Recreation Division office at 207-756-8275, (information/cancellation program hotline: 207-756-8130).
