Committed to preserving the uniquely American art form of big band jazz, Lake Effect Jazz Big Band is in its 17th year of bringing traditional big band and contemporary jazz arrangements to the summer venues of Michigan’s beautiful southwest region.

To bring music and entertainment to the residents of Oshtemo Township, Friends of the Parks is excited to announce 2018 Music in the Park Summer Concert Series! Music and hands-on art begin at 6:00 p.m. making this an event for the whole family to enjoy. The concerts will be held at Flesher Field’s Gazebo which provides plenty of lawn seating for our guests.   Food will be available for purchase or bring a picnic supper. Alcohol is prohibited.  In the case of inclement weather, the concerts will be moved inside to the Voyage Church. Major sponsors for Music in the Park are the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, U-Insured, Oshtemo Rotary, and Oshtemo Charter Township.  For more information on Music in the Park, visit www.oshtemofriends.org
