ABOUT THE PROGRAM

9:30 am crafts, 10:30am music

This year’s Free Family & Kids Concert stomps into the spotlight with a dinosaur theme, kicking off with an hour of free, hands-on dinosaur crafts courtesy of Frosted Flamingo. Young concertgoers can create their own prehistoric masterpieces before the music begins, setting the stage for a morning of imagination and discovery. Conductor Jason Seber returns to lead this lively and engaging program, guiding audiences of all ages through an entertaining musical adventure designed especially for families. Filled with energy, storytelling, and plenty of fun, this free community concert invites everyone to explore a Jurassic-sized celebration of music.
