Hazelwood Offers Free Summer Concert Series at Truman Park Gazebo
(Posted May 6, 2011)
Everything from a tribute to Elvis Presley to the classic rock sounds to the jumpin’ dance tunes performed by the Bob Kuban Band will be featured in Hazelwood Parks and Recreation Division’s first ever “Summer Concert Series” at Truman Park, located at 7029 Howdershell Road in Hazelwood. Six bands will be performing “live” music from the new gazebo built next to the pond from May 21 to August 13.
Admission is free and open to the public. Since parking is limited, residents living nearby are encouraged to walk over and enjoy the fun entertainment. Shuttle bus service from White Birch Park, 1186 Teson Road, begins at 6 p.m. In case of rain, the concerts will be held at the Hazelwood Community Center in White Birch Park.
Bring lawn chairs or blankets, snacks and coolers. No glass containers will be allowed. Each concert begins at 7 p.m. Sit back and gaze at the stars or watch ripples in the pond while listening to popular song hits. Audience members may even want to get up and dance to their favorites. It’s also a great way to spend quality time with the family, meet the neighbors or make new friends.
“We’re excited about bringing this type of free entertainment to the residents of our community,” said Mayor Matthew Robinson, City of Hazelwood. “Although the City has gone through some hard times over the past couple of years due to the slow economic recovery, I’m glad to see that we’re still able to produce good quality programs like the Summer Concert Series.”
The band schedule for this year’s Hazelwood Summer Concert Series includes the following:
May 21 AmberFade – 40 Years of Favorites
June 4 Jam Central Station – Classic Rock & Roll
June 18 Tom Christopher Band – Elvis Tribute Band
July 16 Bob Kuban Band – Decades of Top 40s
