Experience the magic of summer evenings by the water, with music filing the air and sunsets providing the perfect backdrop.  The Sunday night Summer Concert Series features local musicians and visiting artists who cherish spending time in the area, creating memorable performances for residents and visitors alike.

A beloved summer tradition made possible through the generous support of sponsors, the concert series appeals to people of all ages.  From classic rock to folk, blues, country and contemporary favourites, there is a wide variety of musical genres to enjoy throughout the season. 

The 2026 Summer Concert Series kicks off on Sunday, June 28th!
