Music in the Park

The park offers a beautiful and centrally located setting for folks of all ages to gather and listen to a diverse range of live entertainment. Local businesses help fund the event by signing up to sponsor a the concert series or individual concerts. Music in the Park is CAB's longest running event with its 1994 beginnings predating the existence of CAB.
