Music in the Parks and Red, White and Boom go Virtual
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 at 4:49AMVia a June 29 e-newsletter from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board:
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) has made the difficult decision to move the Minneapolis Music in the Parks events to a virtual format. The MPRB’s priority is the health and safety of our park visitors, Music in the Parks performers and our employees. To learn more about virtual concerts please subscribe to email updates by clicking on the link below. You can also view our most recent virtual concerts here, and learn about our summer virtual programs by visiting the Summer 2020 page.
Check out highlights from our first month of virtual concerts by clicking on the links below:
Traditional Country meets Americana meets Twangy Rock, as the Kari Lynch Band brings a performance to us straight from her Nashville, TN living room!
Enjoy this great LIVE concert from The Red Hot Django Peppers as they burn up the Swing "Gypsy Jazz", or Hot Club Swing style.
The Belfast Cowboys and Rich Mattson and the Northstars
These two great local bands were scheduled to kick off our Music in the Parks Series, and while they couldn't grace our Lake Harriet stage this year, these two great videos of their past park's performances will have you dancing in your living room!
If you are enjoying these great virtual options, please send us some FAN MAIL! The Music and Movies in the Parks events have moved virtual for 2020 due to COVID-19, so in place of gathering together we want to hear your favorite memories and stories from summers past concerts and movies. You can write to one of your favorite artists, the staff, your favorite venue or a loved one you attended an event with. We want to hear about your favorite shows, best moments and milestones that were celebrated at these great outdoor events so that we can all be reminded of what makes Minneapolis Parks great! Share this form to keep the fan mail coming!
Virtually celebrating more than 120 years of free entertainment in Minneapolis parks! Find all the virtual concerts online at: www.mplsmusicandmovies.com. For the latest virtual concerts check out: Facebook | Twitter
