Music In The Park with Mars Needs Guitars

Grafton’s Music in the Park is a free concert series that returns every summer to the banks of the mighty Mississippi River. These concerts are free to the public and are funded in part by the Arts and Education Council, Grafton’s Chamber of Commerce and Jersey State Bank. Performances start at 7 pm at The Grove Memorial Park and last approximately two hours. Musicians perform under the gazebo while listeners enjoy the outdoor atmosphere and majestic view of the Mississippi River. “The park is such a wonderful setting for these concerts, when the weather gets hot the shade in the park and the cool breeze coming off the river makes each concert an experience not to be missed,” said, Carla Newton, the event’s coordinator. Picnic tables and benches are available but lawn chairs or blankets are recommended. Spectators are asked to bring a can or dry food donation that will be given to the Grafton Food Pantry.

Rain or inclement weather may cancel a performance.
