Free Summer Concerts will Make Your Heart Sing
Whether you are drawn to acoustic guitar, jazz or big band, the Town of Bel Air has something for you this summer.
We are entering a great season for outdoor musical entertainment in Bel Air. There are free concerts available to suit even the busiest family’s schedule. You can take your pick from a lunchtime concert on Fridays in May and September or Sunday and Wednesday night concerts in June, July and August.
The Lunchtime Concert Series takes place on Office Street at noon on Fridays and is perfect for those strolling through downtown shopping or for those on a break from work who want to enjoy some time outside while having lunch. You can bring your own lunch or grab something from a food cart to enjoy at the provided tables and chairs. Passersby are encouraged to stop and take in the sights and sounds for a moment or two. A mid-day concert may be just the thing to usher in the weekend or to clear your head before tackling your Friday afternoon workload.
The Summer Concert Series, which takes place at the William A. Humbert Amphitheater in Shamrock Park on Lee Street, provides many opportunities throughout the summer to gather family and friends for an evening of great music. All concerts start at 7:00pm and the types of performers vary from blues to classical to patriotic. It’s a great opportunity to have dinner at one of the many great downtown restaurants and then walk to the park for the concert. There’s even adjacent Shamrock Park to keep the kids entertained while you wait for the performance to begin.
The Town has worked in partnership with the Harford County Cultural Arts Board for a number of years to provide this entertainment free of charge for the residents to enjoy. We hope you will join in the fun and we will see you at this year’s concert series performances! For a full schedule, please see our Calendar of Events.
