The East Greenbush Department for Youth Services and Recreation proudly announces: Music in the Park

 

Each summer, the East Greenbush Department for Youth Services and Recreation organizes a concert series that takes place every Tuesday night in August from 6 to 8 pm.  The concerts are held at Onderdonk Memorial Park, located on Hampton Avenue. This concert series, called “Music in the Park”, encourages friends, families and neighbors to join together in celebrating the summer season by enjoying the music, the outdoors, and the company.

 

All are invited to attend these concerts. You may come just for the music, or you may stroll around Hampton Manor, enjoying the music.  This is also a great way to show your pride and support for the East Greenbush Community.
