Get To The Gig: Summer Concert Series 2023
Outdoor music events celebrate culture and diversity, boost the local economy, and can create a sense of pride and togetherness in a community. These large gatherings, most of which are free to attend, can also be invaluable in the career development of emerging artists and can encourage and inspire other local talent to play out. By supporting local talent, the community fosters a thriving arts and music scene. Here’s a round up of some local summer concert series to get into this season in Delaware.
