WHAT’S HAPPENING IN ELMWOOD PARK
Family fun run set for Centennial Park
Summer concerts in the park series
The village’s 2013 summer concert series in Central Park began June 13, and continues through the summer with free concerts every second and fourth Thursday through August at 7 p.m. Concert goers will be treated to a variety of great genres including classic rock and roll, oldies, Latin grooves and beach party music.
“These outdoor concerts really help to create a family atmosphere and bring back a sense of nostalgia that we can all enjoy,” Village President Angelo “Skip” Saviano said. “We hope that these events deepen our already strong sense of community and allow residents to relax and have a good time this summer.”
The Stingrays, a classic rock and oldies band, kicked off the concert series on June 13th, followed by The Hat Guys, another cover band, on June 27. Caliente, a Latin groove band, will perform on July 11. The 70s and 80s cover band Voyage will perform on July 25, and Dave Rudolph’s Beach Party will play on August 8. J.P and The Cats, an all-genre cover band, will wrap up the series on August 22. Admission is free, and the village encourages concertgoers to bring their own lawn chairs to these shows.
The Elmwood Park Farmers’ Market in Central Park also continues on the second and fourth Sundays of June, July, August, September and October. The market opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 1 p.m. and features a variety of fresh produce, dairy products, meats, prepared foods and homemade treats from area farmers, restaurants and businesses.
“We encourage residents to get out of the house and enjoy summer in Elmwood Park” said Saviano. “With all of these events we hope to bring residents together and bolster the strong sense of community pride that is characteristic of Elmwood Park and its residents.”
