Merchants Square
2008 Summer Concert Series



Every year for the last 17 years Merchants Square has been the site of some amazingly fun outdoor concerts called the Summer Breeze Concerts.

This year will be no different. These concerts are free and family friendly. So pack up your lawn chair and your dancing shoes and get ready to sway and boogie and just enjoy the music surrounded by the tree-lined streets of Merchants Square.

It is not uncommon to see people with their picnic basket filled with wine and cheese and possibly fresh strawberries purchases from the Farmers Market.

There is a children's activity area that opens at 6:30.
