Everything from country and rock rhythms to rhythm and blues and music for kids are scheduled to be part of the city of Kent’s free outdoor summer concerts in 2021.<\/p>\n
The lineup was announced May 10 by the Kent Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department and Kent Arts Commission. The concerts were canceled last year due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
Concerts and performances for kids are held Wednesdays at noon in a brand-new location (Morrill Meadows Park), and Thursday evening concerts at Lake Meridian Park offer music for all ages to enjoy.<\/p>\n
Zan Fiskum, of Maple Valley, and a final nine candidate in Season 18 of NBC’s “The Voice,” will perform Aug. 5 during Thursdays at the Lake at Lake Meridian Park.<\/p>\n
Current COVID guidelines will apply, including masks and social distancing. Seating will be limited and released on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning one hour prior to concert time. For up-to-date information visit KentArts.com.<\/p>\n
