The start of summer is just around the corner and you know what that means – it’s almost TGIF season. Our summer concert series will be back this July, and new for this year will be a complimentary bike valet service. It works just like a car valet but for your bikes at each TGIF concert location, so you can enjoy the shows without the time to find parking.
Mark your calendars now for the TGIF schedule and lineup and stay tuned in the coming weeks for more details on other tips to help you enjoy TGIF.

An homage to pop sensation ABBA that will take you on a glittery, sparkling, and truly magical journey back to the disco and the 70s.
Each TGIF show begins at 6 p.m.
We’ve been getting some questions about why there will only be six concerts this year.
As we were planning for this summer’s concerts, it became clear that our budget would not cover nine concerts.
The cost for hosting the concerts has doubled since 2019, before COVID, and inflation has added to that cost.
Reducing the number of concerts this summer was the least disruptive way to address the shortfall this year.
We’re evaluating options for the 2024 TGIF season and will present those to the City Council before any decisions are made about next year’s concerts. In the meantime, we have six wonderful concerts lined up this summer, and I am so excited for you to experience the variety of musical styles and enjoy connecting with friends and neighbors at each show.
