One of the best things about living in the Golden Isles is all of the wonderful opportunities to listen to great music outdoors! In addition to the outdoor venues around town, there's Jazz in the Park, A Little Light Music, Rhythm on the River AND Second Sundays! We are so very lucky! These events are a perfect way to wind down a weekend with friends and family. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets to spread out, pack a picnic and a cooler full of your favorite beverages. There's nothing better than a day of music in the park or an evening by the ocean under the stars.
Here are the schedules for the season. Inclement weather may cancel. If so, I'll try to keep you posted of that on the Facebook page.
