Hazelwood Free Summer Concert Series

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.

“We’re excited about bringing this type of free entertainment to our community,” said Mayor Matthew Robinson, “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.”
