The Sunday Summer Concert Series is returning to the Centennial community in July. It’s a wonderful time to set your chair up outside and enjoy the summer warmth while the music wafts over you. These musicians will have you tapping your toes while you sit or get you out of your chairs and dancing when the music gets lively.
It’s a thoroughly enjoyable time to spend with friends and neighbours. This year is the first time we’ll be having an afternoon concert with a special band for the kids. That’s on July 10 so make sure to bring your children, grandchildren and any other kids you know to this one.
These concerts take place at the Port Union Community Centre rain or shine! If the weather cooperates, the concerts will be held outdoors behind the centre. If we have rain, the concerts will be held inside in the main hall. Please feel free to bring your lawn chairs and a little money for some treats and beverages at intermission.
We hope you’ll join us at all of these special summer concerts this year.
Sunday, July 10 – Two shows – 3:45 and 4:45
James will be doing 2 shows – each one 45 minutes long with a 15 minute intermission between
