Tuesday, Jul. 16

The Erie Philharmonic will take up residency in Gibson Park for three concerts this summer. The Summer Concerts in the Park series will be offered for free, thanks to a partnership between the Erie Philharmonic and North East Arts Council, along with contributions from local sponsors The Skunk & Goat Tavern, Knox McLaughlin Gornall & Sennett, 4 NINE Place, and The North East Community Foundation. Steve Weiser, Executive Director of the Erie Philharmonic, says that "bringing the music outdoors is a perfect fit for the summer and offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere that's perfect for all ages to enjoy." The concerts each have unique musical formats for different tastes. Concertgoers are invited to bring their own chairs. The fun continues with food and beverages available on-site for purchase from local vendors, a free "instrumental petting zoo," and virtual reality experiences. -— Madeline Dufala
