SPRINGFIELD — A variety of musical performers of different genres are slated to hit the stage at Forest Park every Thursday night, for the month of June.
The outdoor concert series will take place at the Forest Park Amphitheater from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The performances are free and open to the public. In the case of inclement weather, the concerts will take place in the Carriage House.
The concert schedule is as follows:
“I am thrilled to have our beloved concerts returning to Forest Park,” said Mayor Domenic Sarno in a written statement. “My administration is committed to enhancing the enjoyment of our beautiful parks systems, and this year’s lineup will bring a lot of enjoyment to family and friends. Our annual concert series in Forest Park is a wonderful example of the city programs that enhance and promote our quality of life. I look forward to enjoying this year’s talented lineup.”
Executive Director of Parks, Buildings and Recreation Management Patrick Sullivan said, “The Parks Department is proud to have concerts back at the Forest Park Amphitheater.”
He continued, “I want to recognize the Concert Committee for their dedicated efforts. They have compiled a terrific lineup for 2023. I would also like to thank the Barney Trustees, as it is through their efforts in the management of the Barney Estate that we have the resources to book these great shows. We encourage everyone to pack a picnic supper and enjoy the music in a beautiful setting.”
Attendees are also encouraged to bring blankets and chairs.
After 5:30 p.m. on concert nights, attendees can enter Forest Park through the Sumner Avenue or Route 5 entrances for free.
