It’s hard to decide what’s better-the amazingly diverse talent on the stage from 11 am until dusk, or the fact that it’s all free.

Join us at the bandshell morning, noon or night to enjoy a range of talent you simply can’t find anywhere else. From high school bands to ethnic dance groups, to jazz, singers, poets and more—there’s never a charge to feed your soul.
