summer concert SERIES in prospect park 2018

Tuesday, July 10, 2018, 7pm — Great music by Pig's Eye Jass Band at Pratt School Amphitheater. One review says this about them: "The Pig’s Eye Jass Band out of the Twin Cities has been around seemingly forever. The group makes a lot of people happy as it preserves the style of Dixieland Jazz." We hope you will join us for an evening of music and community. Lemonade provided by Luxton Park. Bring along a pillow or blanket to make your seat comfortable.

SUMMER CONCERTS

History of Concerts

The first Prospect Park concerts were held in the early 1900's when Tower Hill sing-a-long concerts were held in competition with other areas of Minneapolis. Future musical events included use of the Tower's upper veranda for a brass instruments concert and other sing-a-longs. After the completion of the Pratt School amphitheater, the summer concert series began. Artists appearing in concerts have included Prospect Park's own such as Machinery Hill, as well as local favorites, Adam Granger, Debbie Duncan, Mary DuShane, Dean Magraw, and Claudia Schmidt.
