Music at the Grove Returns Friday Night

It's Thursday and you can't wait to kick up your feet and relax Friday night. Why not do it in the park?

Newark’s long-running Music at the Grove concert series returns Friday evening with Night Fever, who perform a blend of disco, funk, 80s and top 40 covers.

For the first time in 25 years, the concerts are being held Friday evenings rather than Sunday afternoons. Concerts are held the second and fourth Friday nights in July and August at Shirley Sisk Grove, next to NewPark Mall.

Gates to the Shirley Sisk Grove will be open by 5 p.m. for picknicking, with musical performances scheduled to take the stage at 6:30 p.m.

The Food Truck Mafia will be getting things started at 5 p.m. and will be parked across the street from the Grove in the NewPark Mall parking lot.  A total of five gourmet food trucks will be serving food up until 8 p.m.

Upcoming shows include Carlos Santana cover band Caravanserai on Aug. 9 and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones, who close out the series on Aug. 23.
