Free Outdoor Concert with Del Bergeson Orchestra and Lobster Food Truck Onsite

The Del Bergeson Orchestra will provide the music for our free Outdoor Concert Series, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Thursday, July 16 at The Timbers of Shorewood, 1100 N. River Road. Cousins Maine Lobster Food Truck will be onsite from noon to 3 p.m. selling lobster, lobster rolls, chowder & more. The concert is free and open to the public.

Running through July, the summer concert series features a broad spectrum of live music and performances spanning classic rock, traditional polkas, big band orchestra, and global folklore dance. All performances are free and open to the public.

This July, the Timbers is also hosting the “Taste of Timbers” food truck series. Local food trucks will be on-site, offering a variety of delicious dining options for the community. As part of the Taste of Timbers, specific Fundraiser Days will be held where a portion of proceeds from the food trucks will directly benefit the Alzheimer’s Association through Team Timbers.

Events are primarily hosted outdoors on the patio, offering neighborhood families, seniors, and music enthusiasts an open-air venue. In the event of inclement weather, the indoor ballroom will serve as a backup location.

“We are so excited to bring the community together this month,” said Sheila Albor, director of marketing, The Timbers of Shorewood. “There is nothing quite like enjoying live music on a beautiful summer day, and having a lobster food truck on-site makes the experience even better. We truly encourage everyone in the community to come out, grab a bite to eat, and enjoy the show with us.”
