If you love pop-up concerts like Symphony at Sunset, tune in. What started as a way to share live music outdoors during the pandemic has evolved into an annual free concert series – AKA Music on Main. So get ready to enjoy the sounds of the flute, harp, cello, and more at the park!
This year, visitors can expect to hear the gorgeous sounds of a string quartet, original Persian compositions, and classical music – and that’s just for starters.
