Hey, families! Pack a blanket and some sunscreen, because the Kids Summer Concert Series is back on track tomorrow, August 6, with Tricia & The Toonies hitting the stage at Veterans' Memorial Amphitheater. In an age where screens are king, it's a sweet switch-up to soak in some live tunes from 10 to 11 a.m.—and it's free, friends. The Veterans' Memorial Amphitheater, located at 3700 Monterey Drive, will be the place where the melodies mingle with the laughter of kids and where a playground and lunch in the park could be your post-concert plan. Don't forget the swim gear to take a dip in the Aquatic Park if the mood strikes.
For those who've yet to experience the fun, these shindigs are casual, with performances generally lasting between 45 minutes to an hour. No need to break the piggy bank for this series, as the City of St. Louis Park is hosting these events at no cost. Keep in mind, however, that while the experience is under the summer sky, cover is sparse. As the city's announcement gently nudges, "Performances are not covered; shades, hats and umbrella are recommended." So come prepared.
But alas, nature can be fickle in Minnesota. Should the weather gods decide to bring the thunder, the worrywarts among us can dial 952.924.2567 for concert status. That's Minnesota preparedness for you. They're not letting a potential storm dampen the anticipation of a good time—just a heads up to keep your phones charged and ready.
The lineup for the Kids Summer Concert Series is a diverse buffet of kid-friendly entertainment extending through August. Next week, on August 13, the Teddy Bear Band will pair up with the summer reading festival concert for a double-whammy of fun. And as the month marches on, acts like Kidsdance on August 20, and Kid Power with Rachael on August 27, will ensure the little ones have a rhythm-packed end to their summer break. For more details on these jolly gatherings, you can shimmy on over to the summer concerts webpage. This isn't just about dropping beats; it's about building community vibes that evoke those quintessential summer moments that even a Minnesota cold snap can't erase from memory.
