Looking for a place to hear some great local talent or gather with your neighborhood around the Valley this summer? The region is home to many towns that host their own summer music series throughout the warmer months, so you can get your concert fix in a chill and relaxed environment that’s close to home. Avoid the chaos of the huge crowds and pull up your lawn chair or picnic blanket to catch a hometown band playing blues, rock, country, or pop at a park near you. Did we mention that admission is free?
