Update 2011: July Concerts in the Park Schedule: Portland Summer Concert Series | FREE!

We are just over one week away from kickoff of Portland Park’s 2010 Summer Concert series (July 6th @ Mt Tabor Park). All the concerts are free and family-friendly.

This picture is from 2007 at the first Mt Tabor concert of the season. Mount Tabor has an ideal location for watching the concerts. It’s warm, and has great shading so you are not getting scorched. Plus, your food and drink (beer! wine!) doesn’t get too hot in your pic-i-nic basket.
