If you’re a fan of great music and fresh air, make sure to attend the next Outdoor Concert Series, set to take place on Aug. 6 in Peace River.
The Outdoor Concert Series is put on in partnership with Northern Sunrise County Community Services and the Town of Peace River. This concert will be held from 7-8 p.m. at the Riverfront Park in Peace River.
“Our artist for the Outdoor Concert Series on Aug. 6 is Luke Lounsbury,” says Peace River recreation programmer Taylor Bak.
“Luke sings an array of music, but mostly country, and he was born and raised in Peace River. He embodies the Outdoor Concert Series goal of showcasing local talent,” she adds.
Bak says it is also a free concert series, allowing people to attend and enjoy some great entertainment without the onus of added expenses.
“People should attend to support their local musicians, spend an evening in Riverfront Park, and spend time with other people that call Peace River home,” says Bak.
“Plus, it’s free, so all folks have to do is bring a blanket, chair, or something to sit on.”
The next concert in the series is the last one and will be Sept. 3 at Cecil Thompson Park featuring They Call Me Sir.
“Because this is a joint partnership between the County and Peace River, we try to ensure that each municipality chooses a different park to showcase with the outdoor concert series,” explains NSC director of community services Amber Houle.
“There are a lot of parks that people are not aware exist and this gives them a chance to see and experience them.”
For additional information about the concert, please phone either (780) 625-3287 or (780) 624-3204.
