Get ready to cap off your summer in Plymouth style. The city's final Summer Beach Series event, Beaches, Bands & Brews, is hitting East Medicine Lake Park on Friday, Aug. 9 from 6 to 9 p.m. This family-friendly gathering promises a laid-back evening with live tunes, food, and lakefront fun. According to the City of Plymouth, attendees will be treated to the sounds of Sawyer's Dream, described as a "Minneapolis-based all-original vocal harmony Americana band with a 70s style."
While listening to the nostalgic nod of Sawyer's Dream, concert-goers can indulge in a variety of eats and libations provided by local favorites like D's Kitchen and The Pork Chop Guys. Alongside, Rock Elm Tavern and Luce Line Brewery will be on-site to quench your thirst. The organizers recommend visitors come with cash or credit in hand for food and beverages and also pack blankets or lawn chairs to claim their spot on the lawn, as per the City of Plymouth.
For those pondering over the practicalities, parking is limited at the event's official location at 1740 East Medicine Lake Blvd. Alternative parking is available at West Medicine Lake Park, 1920 West Medicine Lake Drive, with a two-mile path connecting both locales -- walkers and bikers can make use of this scenic route where signage will steer them to their beachside destination. As pointed out by the city, East Medicine Lake Park will also have bike racks ready for those opting for two-wheeled transport.
Free and open to the public, further details can be fetched by calling the Plymouth Parks and Recreation Department at 763-509-5200. Everyone praying for sunshine, but if the sky looks grim, the city's weather hotline at 763-509-5205 will confirm if the event is a go or a no-go, courtesy of Mother Nature's whims.
