The Noblesville Parks and Recreation Department has released the 2019 Summer Concert Series lineup, which kicks off with Dave & Rae at 7 p.m. on June 6 at Dillon Park, 6351 Midland Lane. The series also has a new presenting sponsor through the 2021 concert series, STAR Bank.

“As a community bank, STAR is dedicated to creating a positive quality of life for those who live, work and play in our backyard. It is a privilege to sponsor the Dillon Park concerts and partner with the Noblesville Parks & Rec department, who share our community commitment,” STAR Bank Regional President John McCreary said.

The 2019 line-up includes: Dave & Rae, June 6; The Bishops, June 13; Saddlebrook, June 20; Jambox, June 27; Endless Summer Band, July 11; The Doo! Band, July 18; and The Cosmic Situation, July 25. All shows begin at 7 p.m.

New for 2019, all seven concerts will take place at Dillon Park throughout Thursday evenings in June and July. Due to the attendance difference at Dillon and Forest parks, the decision was made to bring more concerts to Dillon Park, where an average of 1,000 people attend each show.

“We always look forward to the summer concert season, but this year we are extremely excited to partner with STAR Bank and appreciate their generosity and commitment to offering free concerts to the Noblesville community,” said Noblesville Parks Director Brandon Bennett. “The Noblesville Summer Concert Series is the longest running series of its kind in Hamilton County and one of our most popular parks events. This free series allows friends and families alike to enjoy live music accompanied by fun, food and festivities right in their own backyard.”

The concert series is free to the public and guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages or enjoy the refreshments for sale by local vendors. In 2018, more than 10,000 attendees from Noblesville and its surrounding communities enjoyed the series.

The annual Noblesville Summer Concert Series is funded 100 percent from donations. In addition to presenting sponsor STAR Bank, the city would like to thank fellow sponsors: Logan Street Signs and Banners, Duke Energy, Ivy Tech Community College, Aspen Creek Grill, Church, Church, Hittle and Antrim, Chris Jensen for Noblesville, Hallmark Orthodontics and Noblesville City Councilman Greg O’Connor. Those interested in becoming a sponsor and supporting the series may contact Kristi Spehler at (317) 776-6350 or kspehler@noblesville.in.us.
