“I try to get a little bit of everything, this year country’s a little more popular we have some more country acts, blues, jazz, folk, roots, whatever I can do to mix it up for different age groups,” says Henry Small, Music in the Park Coordinator.

Over the years, Music in the Park has been a highly successful summer event, offering entertainment every night of the week. Coordinator Henry Small says it’s the longest running series of its kind in all of North America, and for good reason.
