Nia (June 22, 2016 12:08:43 PM): This looks like it is going to be a great series of events and something fun for local people and visitors alike. I think more of these concerts and events should be held so that more people can have the opportunity to be outside in the fresh air, close to some impressive scenery, listening to music or otherwise getting involved in creative activities. It's a great idea.
