Midweek entertainment: Blackfoot’s ‘Music in the Park’ returns

BLACKFOOT — Few things bring a community together like live music on a warm summer evening. Blackfoot’s summertime tradition, Music in the Park, returns to Courthouse Square Park every Wednesday night from June 18 through August 27.

Featuring local and regional bands, the free concert series invites music lovers of all ages to gather on the green grass with blankets and lawn chairs. Each performance begins at 6:30 p.m. at Courthouse Square Park, on the corner of Shilling and Judicial Streets.

Music in the Park is organized by the Greater Blackfoot Area Chamber of Commerce and supported by generous sponsors, including Bingham Healthcare, Pony Express Car Wash, SERVPRO, Idaho Central Credit Union, Tax Techs, and Glanbia Nutritionals.

Blackfoot Chamber Executive Director Jamie Popejoy expressed her appreciation, stating, “We would like to thank the great sponsors, City of Blackfoot and the Parks and Recreation Department, for their support in helping bring this wonderful event to the community.”

This year’s concert lineup features a diverse mix of bluegrass, classic rock, country and folk genres.
