Arts in the park concert series 2024

Upcoming Schedule

5 weeks of summertime music fun! See the schedule below. 

 

BRING YOUR DONATIONS/NON-PERISHABLE ITEMS TO ARTS IN THE PARK THIS SUMMER
Newmarket Community Food Pantry will be accepting donations during the Summer Arts in the Park concert series. According to the NH Food Bank, food insecurity in NH has increased by 44% since 2023. Food insecurity means a family or person doesn’t have access to enough food to have regular meals each day, and often does not know when they will get their next meal. For children, it means going to bed hungry several days a week. The NH Food Bank resources are stretched thin.
Newmarket Community Church Food Pantry has seen a 40% increase this year in new members using our pantry. While the NHFB provides about 50% of the NCC Food Pantry’s supply, we really depend on local donations and resources to help us keep our shelves stocked year-round. During the summer, our needs increase, as children are on summer vacation, and parents’ food bills are stretched to the limit.
We appreciate the support of our Newmarket community and welcome you to bring your donations of non-perishable items to the next Arts in the Park concert. Remember: hunger doesn’t take a summer vacation.

Waterville. Before long, Jim came on board, adding percussion and additional vocals. Since then, The Fossils have grown to be a highly-sought-after band, playing the music of our generation throughout Maine and New Hampshire

The honey bees


6:00 to 8:00pm

It’s the sweet sounds of The Honey Bees Band! Equal parts 30’s era Jazz, Western swing, Folk-Rock and Americana, the Bees mix it all up with flair, fun and a hint of mischief. Standards and favorites are equally served up with the original songs of chanteuse Mary Fagan, who also pollinates the rhythm with acoustic guitar or piano. Guitarist Chris O’Neill colors the nectar with sassy chording on a hollow-body jazz box and nimble runs on the Fender Telecaster. Holding it down low on the “big” bass, Jock Irvine keeps it cool and swinging while enhancing the mix with casual back up vocals. Journeyman drummer Jared Steer pops and locks the grooves while Greg Mostovoy’s delicious improvisations on the Saxophone and Flute float through the air. It all blends together like the honey tastes; smooth, sweet and satisfying.
