Get ready to shake off those weekday blues with the Summer Concert Series at Waverly Place Park! Every Wednesday in June from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, local bands like the Magic Pipers will turn up the volume on fun. And yes, that includes tomorrow, June 11. Bring a blanket or chair, gather your crew, and enjoy tunes under the sky—rain or shine. After the show, stick around for dinner or a stroll through Waverly’s shops. Wine and beer will be for sale, so leave your coolers at home.
