Once again Dawson Park will host three concerts this summer in July (and August).    The gazebo, renovated in the the Spring of 2008, will be the stage for the live performances.  Last year three great acts graced the gazebo and this year’s lineup looks fantastic. Concerts begin at 6:30 PM and last about 2 hours.  Best of all, the concerts are free!

If you have a disability and require an accommodation call 503-823-2223 V/TT at least 2 days prior to the concert.  All dogs must be on leash during concerts.  Alcoholic beverages for personal consumption are permitted during concerts only, under the Summer Concerts Program’s special use permit. No vehicles are allowed in parks except by permit.

Food vendors Burly’s Kettle Corn, Hot Dog Ernie’s, and Portland Ice Cream Company are expected to be at the concerts or visit one of the many restaurants in Eliot before or after the show.
