CORNWALL, Ontario – The City of Cornwall’s popular Arts in the Park program is set to return to Lamoureux Park for its 31st season and it is shaping up to be one of the best yet.
This year’s program features 23 performance nights featuring over 27 musical acts, one musical matinee and a free outdoor movie in the park on Saturday, July 16th (weather permitting, film title to be announced) in partnership with Rachel’s Kids.
The fun kicks off on Tuesday, June 21 with a performance by Revival.
“We are thrilled with this year’s line-up of shows and performers. There really is something for everyone,” said Lorne Taillon, Leisure Arts Coordinator.
All Arts in the Park events are free however donations are gratefully accepted to help offset the cost of the programming. Shows are held outdoors at the Lion’s Club Bandshell in Lamoureux Park, and all musical performances will begin at 7 pm (weather permitting) unless otherwise noted. The outdoor movie in the park will begin at approximately 8:45 pm (weather permitting).
Free parking is available behind the bandshell and at the nearby Cornwall Civic Complex.
