Outdoor Concerts Almost Over
Even though our daytime high temperatures have been in the 100’s the past 10 days or so, the evenings are usually pleasant. I’ve attended outstanding concerts at the Woodway Arboretum (After Midnight), Indian Spring Park (Juneteenth Gospel Singers) and and Bosque River Stage (Kimberly Kelly, The Gimbles) during this hot weather and have been comfortable. There always seems to be a nice breeze. This also helps keep the mosquitoes away along with the burning torches of citronella. Don’t let the heat prevent you from an outdoor concert in Waco. It’s not that bad. Our outdoor concert season is almost over. The July 4th concerts at Indian Spring Park will end our summer concerts that began in May.
This week’s concerts feature ‘Elephants’, a large band that plays rock and jazz, at the Arboretum on Wed. June 27 at 8 - 9 pm. ‘Pride and Joy’ and Mustard Seed’ will perform at the Bosque River Stage 8 - 10 pm. These are three of my favorite local bands. They always do a great job entertaining their audiences with a variety of upbeat songs.
If you’ve never attended an outdoor concert in Waco, make the effort to try something new. The music is great and you’ll always see people you know. You’ll be glad you went.
