Kingston is set to host its annual Music in the Parks series, bringing free concerts to the community throughout the summer months.

Every Thursday evening from June through August, residents and visitors can enjoy live performances at various parks across the city.

Each concert will run from 6:00 PM until sunset, offering a perfect way to unwind after a day’s work.

The 2026 series carries the theme “250 Years of America’s Voices: The Music That Influenced American and World Society.”

This theme celebrates the rich tapestry of musical genres that have shaped the nation and the world.

Attendees can expect a diverse lineup featuring local and regional bands covering rock, jazz, blues, and folk music.

Performances will be held at various Kingston park locations, providing a scenic backdrop for the events.

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to enhance their comfort during the shows.

Food vendors will be on-site, offering a variety of refreshments to complement the musical experience.

The atmosphere is designed to be family-friendly, making it an ideal outing for all ages.

In the event of inclement weather, rain dates will be announced to ensure that the community doesn't miss out on these performances.

For more information, including the full schedule and any updates, residents are encouraged to visit the City of Kingston's official website or contact the Department of Arts and Cultural Affairs.

This concert series is part of Kingston's ongoing commitment to accessible community arts and entertainment, fostering a vibrant cultural scene for all to enjoy.
