Save your Thursday evenings in July and August for the annual Summer Serenades music performances at the Village of Brockport Welcome Center, 11 Water Street just off Main Street. Start time in July is 7 p.m.; in August it is 6:30 p.m. All last about an hour and a half, are free, and require no tickets or reservations. Most people sit on the Welcome Center (south) side of the Canal but many sit on benches, bring their own chairs, or simply enjoy the music while walking along the Canal path on the north side.
Thursday evenings are a great time to host friends and out of town visitors for an enjoyable time in Brockport. People bring folding chairs, blankets, food (no alcohol or tobacco are permitted), and families. There are many regular attendees and always a few happy reunions with multi-generation former residents returning during the summer.
This year’s schedule is filled with performers who have been especially enjoyed in some of the 12 previous years of Serenades:
•July 11 – The Swooners
•July 18 – Feedback
•July 25 – Big Mike and the Motivators
•August 1 – Brockport Big Band
•August 8 – Eight Days a Week
•August 15 – Hannah PK
•August 22 – Rochester Metropolitan Jazz Orchestra
In case of a weather question, look on the Village website, brockportny.org. Better yet, on the Village site, go to Quick Links and sign up for “Get Notifications” and you’ll be kept informed.
Please also consider sending a tax deductable check to Village of Brockport, 127 Main Street, Brockport, NY 14420, with Summer Serenades noted. The Serenades are fully supported by local donations – all of which are greatly appreciated.
