I went to my very first Pocahontas Premieres concert this summer at Pocahontas State Park and I enjoyed every unforgettable moment of this experience.

As soon as I got there I could almost taste the food they were offering by the wonderful smells that filled the air. Children were throwing a ball and chasing each other down the hill. People were setting up their lawn chairs and blankets.

Pocahontas Premieres host two Summer Concerts this July - Pocahontas State Park, Virginia

When the music started, the band had everyone feeling the music. Some people were staying comfortably in their seats while others were dancing up in front of the stage. People of all ages were dancing to the beat of the band. Good times were had by all and great memories were created at my first Pocahontas Premiere.
