The season isn’t over yet! Come to the Gazebo this Thursday at 7pm for a concert featuring paula d, who puts the “Jam” in Jam & Suds. Along with her guitar, you don't know who else might show up to provide some great music from the ’60s, ’70s, and more. You may even hear some original tunes. Come on down and groove to the sounds you loved when you were growing up! (Or the songs your parents played when you were growing up!)

This year’s Gazebo Concert series is funded by Worth Repeating and coordinated by the Manchester District Library. A huge shout-out to Kathy Dimond for her hard work and dedication to making this long-standing and beloved Manchester tradition continue.

Bring chairs or a blanket to sit on to Wurster Park and enjoy listening to great music as you watch the sun set over the Emanuel Church steeple. It’s a great memory you’ll want to pass on to your kids and your grandchildren, too. And remember — your generous donations are appreciated to keep this established Manchester tradition a reality in the future.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
