Local families, brace yourselves to delightfully jam out to the peppy beats of the Kids Summer Concert Series at Veterans' Memorial Amphitheater. On Wednesday, July 16, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., treat the little ones to "Kid Power with Rachael." Pack a picnic, plop down on a blanket, and bask in the glow of child-friendly entertainment amidst the greenery of 3700 Monterey Drive. After the concert, kids can let loose on the playground, munch on lunch in the park, or make a splash at the nearby Aquatic Park.
The vibrant performances, which promise to keep both kids and parents toe-tapping, are free and typically range from 45 minutes to an hour. Since the venue isn't covered, those planning to attend should definitely plan to bring shades, hats, or umbrellas—to widely avoid any chance of a sunburn. In the usual unpredictability of summer weather, if clouds start to look threatening, you can promptly call 952.924.2567 to confirm the concert status.
Looking forward, the concert series continues to roll out a lively lineup through the summer. You can expect to see performances by bands like The Bazillions on July 23, Jolly Pops on July 30, followed by Tricia & The Toonies on August 6, and the Teddy Bear Band playing for the summer reading festival concert on August 13.
For families interested in getting the full scoop on these summertime festivities, more details can be conveniently located on the city's summer concerts webpage.
