It’s officially summer in Webster

The band Wingin’ It kicked off the Friday Night Gazebo Concert series last night.

The Village of Webster hosted its first Friday night gazebo concert of the summer last night, which means that the season has officially begun.

A band called Wingin’ It took to the stage for a two hour concert featuring a lend of Irish and American pop music.  It was a gorgeous evening, and there was a decent crowd on hand, but I

expect those numbers to grow as the summer progresses.  And by 8:30 there was a definite chill in the air, which sent a lot of people packing a bit early.

The free gazebo concerts continue all summer, from 7-9 pm every Friday night.  Here’s who’ll be there:

June 22: Marty Roberts (beach classics, country and originals)
June 29: Lester Funk (blues and classics)
July 6: The Mark Cassara Band, kicking off Webster’s Jazz Festival Weekend
July 20: The Jack Allen Big Band
August 3: Friend Unplugged
August 10: Moondance (jazz, country and classics)
Agust 17: Eggman’s Traveling Carnival

You’ll find a little more information at the Village of Webster website.

Also on the website, you’ll find a list of the movies scheduled for this summer’s Movies in the Park series, which begin July 10 with The Tale of Despereaux.

The Webster Jazz Festival hits town July 7, and plans this year are for the already hugely popular event to be bigger and better.

A young fan gets a personal concert from strolling fiddler Sharon McHargue.

Jazz keyboardist Lao Tizer will headline the entertainment. More detail coming about that event soon.  PLUS in the coming summer months there are TWO farm markets every Saturday morning, the annual Garden Tour, special events at the museum, Village Band concerts, Village Days (now in September), the Firemen’s Carnival….

Whew.
