Concerts in the Park at Riverview Park Review
In April, we held two Concerts in the Park. On April 5th with the Sebastian High School Band treated us to Jazz and Steel Pan music that got the crowd dancing, in their seats and on their feet. We had 425 attendees at that concert. Then the second concert featured the Allen Wronko Band who brought Country and Rock to the stage.
The next concert will be on May 17th with Swamp Dog who will be playing classic and southern rock. This month there is only one concert so please mark your calendars. As always, the concerts begin at 5:30pm at Riverview Park, along the Indian River Lagoon.
At each event attendees receive a free raffle ticket for a chance to win prizes donated from local Chamber Members. Food vendors are on site. At the last concert there were 13 raffle baskets full of prizes from our members, so make sure you get your raffle tickets before the show begins.
These concerts are presented in partnership with the City of Sebastian, the Sebastian River Area Chamber, and our business sponsors, bringing you live musical talent and promoting the member and sponsor businesses with style.
