June — August
said Bob Wayt, TPRD communications and outreach director. “There’s nothing
quite like being able to spread a blanket on the grass and enjoy a picnic during
a concert — especially when it’s all free.”
Quarterflash, known for the 1981 hit “Harden My Heart,” headlines the Aug.
10 show at the Howard Terpenning Complex in Beaverton. The show opens
with Stone in Love, a Journey cover band. Wayt said the free concerts are a
way for the park district to give back to the community.
Two other popular free concert series are Hillsboro’s Showtime at Shute
and Tualatin’s Concerts on the Commons. The long-running Shute concert
series starts the weekend early with Thursday night shows at Shute Park in
Hillsboro, with concerts drawing up to 1,000 people.
The events include pre-show entertainment, artist demonstrations and
hands-on art-making opportunities.
Tualatin’s Concerts on the Commons run Friday nights during July and
August on the plaza at Tualatin Commons in the heart of downtown. Three
other free outdoor music opportunities include:
Wilsonville Rotary Summer Concert series: Held in Town Center Park, it
kicks off July 18 with Johnny Limbo and the Lugnuts;
Last Tuesday, Beaverton’s monthly concert series during the summer: This
year’s lineup includes a classical violinist with a six-piece band, 5 Guys Named
Moe, and flamenco guitarist Todd Haaby.
Sherwood’s Music on the Green: Concerts happen Wednesday evenings July
through August in Stella Olsen Park in Old Town Sherwood. This marks the
city’s 18th year celebrating summer with the concert series.
