Summer plans for the annual Arts in the Park have come together as the Board met early this year to select bands and share ideas to improve the 2016 season.

Arts in the Park begins June 1st at 6:15 p.m. and feature bands will play at 7:00 p.m. at Fox Park on Clear Lake. The event and parking are both free.

During Arts in the Park days, you will find feature bands, youth art, a ‘slicer night’, and pre-concert shows along with caricatures being done as a fundraiser for the event.

Other local artists will be displaying their works and the Board mentioned a “Parks and Canvas” night with sign-up information coming soon.

Pre-concert activities will include poetry and literature performances, ballroom dance instruction, Zumba on the beach, and a Cripple Creek Stone Lake Beach Concert on June 30th, according to organizers.
