'Mostly Music in the Park' Series Begins July 25

Musical performances will take place in Mercerdale Park every Thursday from 7-8:30 p.m., from July 25 - Aug. 25, 2013.

Join your friends and neighbors at Mercerdale Park in July and August for the Mercer Island Arts Council's annual summer concert series

Concerts feature various bands and artists from around the region, performing a wide variety of music styles. Concerts will be held on Thursdays only this year from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Mercerdale Park in downtown Mercer Island. The number of performers was scaled back this year due to cuts in city funding, eliminating Sunday performances, except for a special 3 p.m. concert on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Luther Burbank Park Ampitheatre.

The city is encouraging donations, however, to restore Sunday performances. Donations can be sent to the following address: City of Mercer Island, Mostly Music in the Park, 2040 84th Ave. SE, Mercer Island, WA 98040.  The City thanks you for your support.

Here's the schedule for this summer's music concerts in the park:
