Summertime in St. Louis Park is about to get jazzy. This Wednesday, July 10, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., the Veterans' Memorial Amphitheater will play host to the swing vibes of Gypsy Mania Hot Club Quartet. Part of the Summer Concert Series, a collaboration between the City of St. Louis Park and the St. Louis Park Rotary Club, the event promises an evening soaked in rhythm and melody – all without dipping into your wallet. The concerts are free, ensuring accessibility to all music aficionados in the community.
For those who have made weather-watching a hobby, you'll be glad to know there's a plan for when Mother Nature throws a tantrum. If the skies decide to unleash their fury, just dial 952.924.2567 to check the concert status, as detailed by St. Louis Park, MN. With the Minnesota skies being infamously temperamental, it's always good to have a backup plan, so you don't end up as wet as a noodle in a soup bowl.
Looking beyond the swing of Gypsy Mania Hot Club Quartet, the series lineup presents a sampler platter of musical genres. With the Classical Actor Ensemble strutting their stuff on July 12 and Jeff Dayton crooning by July 13, there's something for every taste, as per St. Louis Park, MN. And it doesn't stop there – the coming weeks feature acts like Dred I Dread on July 17, Power of 10 on July 24, and many more.
Finger-snapping good times extend throughout the summer with diverse performances, including the community-driven showcase, the Aug. 14 Community Talent Show. Those with a palette, or rather ear for local music, shouldn't miss the Dan Israel Folk Festival on Aug. 24. And filled with the rich librettos of opera, the Overdressed Duo will bring "La Traviat" to life on Aug. 3. Families, friends, and music lovers can experience these live performances in a convivial outdoor setting, perfect for shaking off the residual stiffness from a long day behind desks or steering wheels.
