The annual Summer Serenades music series returns again to the Village of Brockport’s Welcome Center on the Erie Canal just east of Main Street. Every Thursday evening in July (7 p.m.) and August (6:30 p.m.) a professional group performs in this scenic and acoustically strong venue. The atmosphere is always casual – people bring chairs or sit on the grass, often with snacks purchased on Main Street. The Greater Brockport Development Corporation sponsors a lineup of local musicians, homegrown or newly established residents. This series is made possible solely with the generous support of many local businesses and individuals.
