The Solar Concert Series is BACK! We have partnered with The Children’s Museum and Saturday Light Brigade to bring you weekly family-friendly live music powered completely by a solar-powered sound system, provided by Zero Fossil!
The concert series will take place EVERY Thursday in July and August. We encourage you to pack a lunch or order from Eco Bistro and enjoy your lunch by experiencing live music and community connection!
On select days we will have food truck lunch options for you to enjoy with family and friends as well! Food Trucks that are scheduled on Solar Concert Series days are:
- July 14th – Bulgogi Korean Grill
- August 11th – 5 Greeks
- August 18th – Nakama
- August 25th – Food Truck Totopo
The concert series will switch back and forth each week, being hosted at Nova Place and Buhl Community Park. If the weather does not permit the concert will be moved inside the Nova Place Concourse for dry and comfortable viewing.
Check out the concert series schedule to see our featured local artists of 2022 as well as location of that day’s event. Keep it movin’ and grovin’ – We look forward to seeing you there!
