Free Summer Concerts

May 20, 2010 By FFCStaff


Please note this post is from 2010.

There’s something about the start of summer that always gets me excited. I have visions of our family sprawling out on a blanket, packing a picnic, sipping an ice-cold beverage and enjoying some great live music.  Of course, sometimes my vision and our reality don’t always mesh (kids are too hot, the bugs are bothering them, I forgot to pack the drinks, it rains, they’re too tired, etc.).  But even with some of our previous mishaps, we usually have a good time and there’s always hope that my “vision” for this season will work out.  So with that in mind, FFC wanted to share some of the upcoming free summer concerts held throughout Greater Cincinnati.  If you have any free concerts that you’d like to add to our listing, please leave us a comment with all the details.

    In terms of audio functionality the phone is featured with
    the FM radio that keep you tune with music and news programmes.
    Mobile Maps Application on Nokia N900 offers multi-stop route planning and will give warnings on speed limits,
    keeps history of places visited and allows you to install the
    maps on the device. Besides, a headset will allow you to converse with your passenger(s), making it
    easier for you to answer their questions.

    I drive by a sign promoting these concerts every day and you reminded me to look them up since the printing is rather small to read while driving. I don’t know exactly what the park is called but it is behind the Evendale Rec Center on the corner of Reading and Glendale Milford Roads. http://www.evendaleohio.org/Pages/EvendaleOH_Recreation/programs/2010ConcertSchedule2.pdf
