City of Fremont Summer Concert Series Begins June 27

Thanks to the support of local sponsors, including Washington Hospital Healthcare System and Niles Rotary, the City of Fremont Summer Concert Series returns this month. Beginning June 27, from 6 to 8 p.m., Fremont community members are welcomed to the Central Park Performance Pavilion to enjoy music, food and community engagement in a scenic location. Concerts will be held on Thursdays.

In response to their Community Health Needs Assessment, Washington Hospital will provide health care information and educational first aid demonstrations. Staff and volunteers from the Hospital will be on-site to answer questions and provide valuable resources.

There will be multiple sponsors, who typically participate with activities and information. Adults and children alike enjoy interacting with other community members. Attendees often include local city officials and at least one member of the Washington Township Health Care District Board of Directors.

Back again this year are food trucks, offering a variety of tempting choices. Each week there will be multiple options for dinner and at least one treat truck for dessert. While picnics are encouraged, grilling or barbecuing is not allowed in the concert venue area.

The concert season begins Thursday, June 27, with soul and R&B music performed by Three Queens of Soul. After skipping the week of July 4, concerts resume on Thursday, July 11, and continue each Thursday evening through August 8, when You Should Be Dancing (Bee Gees tribute) will close out the season.

Washington Hospital Healthcare System recognizes the importance of this community event. Community Outreach Manager, Kayla Gupta says, “It’s great to be outdoors, meeting community members and providing health-related information. We try to have staff from different areas of the Healthcare System each week. We often have community members come to the table to say they were patients at Washington Hospital, or comment on the wonderful care a physician provided. It’s fun for everyone.”

Schedule of bands:

• June 27: Three Queens of Soul
• July 11: Momtoombo (Latin rock)
• July 18: Wolf Jeff (Americana)
• July 25: Bombay Disco Co. (Bollywood)
