2GETHER @SUNSET A POD CONCERT EXPERIENCE

We are excited to resume hosting in-person, family-friendly outdoor events. On Saturday, May 29, the city will host a free “pod” concert, the 2gether@Sunset experience at the Sportsplex on Tom Messenheimer Field (2575 Sportsplex Drive). Concert attendees can purchase food and drinks on-site from multiple local food trucks and a cocktail bar. No coolers or lawn chairs are permitted at the event – each socially-distant “pod” accommodates up to four people with chairs and a small table. Residents receive preference, by showing I.D. before parking, as seating is limited. Gates open at 5 p.m. and there will be line dancing by DJ Nacho from Round-Up starting at 6 p.m., followed by a special performance by the School of Rock. Kicking off the evening will be Emily Brooke at 7:15 p.m., and the featured act, The Tom Jackson Band, will perform country hits from 8:15 to 10 p.m.
