Summer Tunes: County Announces Free Concert Lineup

Grab a lawn chair and head to one or more of the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders’ free summer concerts held in four County parks.

“We are pleased to present our Music in the Parks series to our residents,” said Freeholder Stephen J. “Pete” Dalina, chair of the County’s Infrastructure Management Committee. “It’s a great way to spend quality time outdoors.”

Middlesex County Freeholder Director Ronald G. Rios said: “Middlesex County is very proud of our beautiful parks, and they are the perfect setting to enjoy live music.  On behalf of the Freeholder Board I encourage all residents to join us for these wonderful free summer events.”  

All concerts are free and open to the public.
