Anson B. Nixon Park Calendar of events

Free Concerts Summer 2011

PLEASE NOTE: The Wednesday concerts at Anson B. Nixon Park are planned as “rain or shine” events. Every attempt will be made to proceed with the show since weather can be sporadic and conditions may vary by time and location. The stage area is covered and performances can go on if there is rain.

At 7 pm when the program is scheduled to begin the decision will be made. If extreme weather conditions (thunder, lightening, high winds, etc) exist at the Park at that time the cancellation decision will be made.
