On Friday, June 14 the eccentrically talented troupe, Polkaboy, will perform the season-launching concert for the popular series in Cool Creek Park.
The summer concert series, presented by Hamilton County Parks, and title sponsored by Clay Township Trustee Office and Board, was first staged in the park in 1994. Many of the performers slated to appear this season have played a role in contributing to the popularity of the historic series, including headliners like Jennie DeVoe, The Flying Toasters and Duke Tumatoe and the Power Trio.
In celebration of the 25-year milestone, crazy fun activities ranging from a huge inflatable Wipe Out challenge ring to a zany Velcro wall have been planned. Visits from the Pacer Fan Van and added performances by Bach to Rock’s talented musical proteges will also be offered to concert-goers. And for the opening concert, the Parks Department is planning a very exciting anniversary surprise to delight music fans. Watch for details related to that surprise to be announced soon.
Below is the all-star line-up for the 2019 season.
