Music in the Park

The dates are set for the next Music in the Park Concert Series sponsored by the Springfield Parks Foundation. The popular and growing community program held on Sunday afternoons May through September in area parks has attracted more than 4,000 people from ages 2 to 90 over the past two years.

Music in the Park is the perfect venue for families to gather in our beautiful public parks to enjoy a variety of music such as big band, rhythm and blues, jazz and more. Every concert is located near a great playground for kids and shade for the not-quite-kids-anymore, so bring your family, blankets and lawn chairs and come enjoy the concerts.
