Music in the Park
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, “Music is the universal language of mankind.” Maybe that is why Music in the Park events are so popular and much anticipated each summer. They provide opportunities to come together as a community, fostering a sense of belonging, connection, positivity, fun and friendship.
The joy of music is truly one of life’s great pleasures, food for both mind and soul. Music, friendship and food together make a perfect evening, so why not stop at a favorite local restaurant and order up some summery drinks and good eats and nourish the body as well as the soul.
