A summertime tradition continues
Now in its 18th year, Roosevelt Summer Sundays continues an Ames summer tradition of free outdoor concerts at Roosevelt Park. Terrific local and regional bands take the stage each Sunday evening from June through mid-August. Come join us at the park!
Roosevelt Summer Sundays Concerts are produced by Friends of Roosevelt Park, and are made possible by generous contributions from our donors and sponsors. Don’t forget to sign up for our very occasional e-newsletter.
All events in Ames city parks are cancelled until (at least) 1 Sept 2020.
As such, it is with sadness that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Summer Sundays Concert Season.
Looking forward to seeing all of you for our 2021 season.
