With input from the community, the BAC has once again extended the series through the end of September, taking advantage of the regions' wonderful fall weather. In the event of inclement weather, the Wednesday following each scheduled concert will serve as the official rain-date. There are no concerts scheduled for the week of July 4th or on Labor Day (September 4th).

Patrons are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets and stake-out a spot in the BAC Courtyard for the concerts. Food is allowed, but outside drinks are not. A full bar is available and donations are warmly encouraged.
