Weather Doesn't Stop Sunday Concert on Village Green

The Sunday Concert on the Village Green will go on as planned Sunday, Aug. 3.

Down City Band will bring top 40 hits and 70s to current songs to sing along with and enjoy.

The free concert is located on the sprawling playground and park in front of the Neighborhood Guild at 325 Columbia Street in Peace Dale. It’s an ideal setting for families to bring blankets, lawn chairs and a snack or two. Or forget the snack and be on the lookout for the food and vendor trucks that tend to show up at summer events sponsored by the South Kingstown Parks and Recreation Department.

Donations are welcomed to support the concert series, which began on July 13 and will run until Aug. 24.

Next week, the Barley Hoppers will bring Honky Tonk, Rockabilly and Country Swing. On Aug., 17, the Big Cat Blues bring — you guess it — blues, and Aug. 24 wraps up with traditional Irish music from John Connors & the Irish Express.
