For the past six years, CAG's Concerts in the Parks have brought together all ages of the
Georgetown community to socialize and enjoy live music - from jazz to reggae to rock n' roll - performed
in our lovely parks. Youngsters, oldsters, families, and friends (and an amazing array of well-behaved dogs)
gather at the concerts to picnic, catch up, and enjoy the live bands.
Beat the summer heat and spice
up your Sunday routine at the
CAG Concerts in the Parks
Series at 5 pm on Sunday June 21 in
Rose Park (26th and P Streets) and
again on Sunday July 5 in Volta Park
(34th and Q Streets).
June 21 features the Melodime band’s
(http://www.myspace.com/mymelodime)
eclectic mix of rock, blues, folk, and
country music that has turned the group
into an award winning band. There will
also be Father’s Day activities including
craft tables to make Father’s Day cards
and even design your own “Best Dad”
medal—plus a special Father-Child
dance. So bring dad—and granddad—
to enjoy a fun afternoon and the free
Hagaan Dazs ice cream cones. There
will also be an award for the “Best Picnic”
highlighting the most fun, fancy or
creative spread.
Back by popular demand, the
Image Band (www.imageband.com)
will return on July 5 with the dynamic
rhythms infection sounds of their
Caribbean/Reggae music. And new
this year, since it’s Fourth of July
weekend, there will be a parade
around the block at 4:30 (form up
at the playground at 4) for kids and
dogs in red white and blue.
Raffle tickets will be on sale for $5
each to win a $1500 combination of
spa, exercise and beauty treatments in
our Pampered in Georgetown raffle.
It’s worth buying a chance to enjoy a
two night stay at the Georgetown Inn;
a spa package from Erwin Gomez
Salon; a haircut plus a manicure/
pedicure at ILO Salon; 10 yoga
classes at Down Dog Yoga; and a manicure/
pedicure and wax from Polished.
The drawing will be at the end of the
third concert on July 5 at Volta Park.
Come to Volta Park at 4 pm on Sunday, July 5, just before the
concert, and join a 4th of July parade around the park. Young
and old alike should dress in red, white, and blue to celebrate
America’s birthday. Decorate your bicycles, tricycles, wagons
—and even your dog—to join in on the fun. Then enjoy the
mesmerizing performance of the Caribbean style Image
Band from 5 - 6:30.
