After a month of competitive voting, the public has selected their five favorites for the series, sponsored by the Town of Hamden, Town Center Park Commission and Department of Arts, Recreation and Culture. All events have an 8 p.m. show time.

Here is the August schedule:

Town Center Park Chairman Matthew Fitch noted the town will feature the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcast on Aug. 18 featuring the New York Yankees at the Boston Red Sox, live from Fenway Park.

“Major League Baseball has again been very supportive of the idea and we hope to have final approval shortly,” he said.
