"We are proud to have an excellent parks system where our residents can enjoy outdoor recreation, sports, festivals, charity events, and family outings. Thank you to Parks and Recreation Director Marc Manfre and his team for the extraordinary work and effort they put into planning and hosting this festival each year. These free concerts feature some incredible acts in an absolutely beautiful setting, and I encourage residents to enjoy them this summer."
