Cleveland Metroparks popular Summer Concert Series returns, bringing live music back to the Wayside Furniture Stage, this year along the lakefront, with eight weeks of Thursday evening concerts at two of Cleveland’s most iconic waterfront destinations.
The free, weekly happy hour concert series kicks off June 11, featuring four weeks at Euclid Beach followed by four weeks at Edgewater Beach. Concerts take place on Thursdays from 4 – 8 p.m., with live music beginning at 5 p.m.
Guests can enjoy happy hour and a beer garden presented by Leinenkugel, and a variety of food offerings from Cleveland Metroparks concessions and food trucks, all set against the backdrop of Lake Erie.
Also beginning in June, local artists will perform weekly at scenic locations throughout the parks: Wednesdays near The Noshery at Huntington Beach; Fridays at Emerald Necklace Marina in Rocky River Reservation; Saturdays at The Galley at the Patrick S.
