If you happened to walk or drive by Veteran’s Memorial Park last night while the Friday Night Gazebo Concert was happening, you might have thought we were having a regular village summer after all.
That is, if you disregarded the fact that audience members were all grouped into individual, socially-distanced white squares spray-painted in the grass.
Regardless of how weird it looked, the arrangement didn’t seem to bother anybody; the large number of people who had gathered to enjoy the smooth jazz tunes from Judah Sealy just seemed very happy to be able to enjoy a Friday Night Concert again on a beautiful summer evening.
The last of this summer’s three concerts is scheduled for next Friday night, Sept. 4, featuring one of the Webster Jazz Fest favorites, the Bill Tiberio Band. The concert begins at 7 p.m., and you’re welcome to come earlier in the day to choose a square and set up your chairs.
Veteran’s Memorial Park is located on North Ave., just steps from the village’s four corners.
Audience members were asked to stay within spray-painted squares to encourage social distancing 
No one seemed to mind huddling into squares; they just appreciated having a concert to enjoy.
