Music in the Glen began the summer of 2020, when all other music events were cancelled because of covid. These concerts, in beautiful Glendale Park, permitted safe, isolated listening experiences, with easy parking, shaded listening under the trees, and pristine sound from the stage at shelter 1. To date, 120 concerts have been provided. Please tell your friends and colleagues. Concerts are free, with an option for voluntary donations to help pay the musicians. MITG has received a United Cultural Fund grant from Broome County Arts Council for it's community concerts. We now have corporate and business sponsors, as we continue to grow. MITG seeks out creative and original artists who may find it more challenging to perform at local venues that tend to seek out cover bands. You can visit the website, or scan the QR code in image file, to see the artists who will perform this season. This post lists Saturday afternoon shows. There are also weekly shows on Tuesday evenings starting at 6 pm.
Gates open at 10 am with a rubber ducky scavenger hunt for kids starting at 10:30. Pedal car derby for ages 4 to 8 at 11 am. Pie eating contest at noon followed by the parade of tubs. The main event starts at 2 pm - the Bathtub Races! Witchy Women of the Finger Lakes perform at 3 pm and a bicycle race afterwards for 6 to 15 will end the day. Enjoy music, lawn games, craft vendors, craft beer, adult beverages and food trucks all day long.
