During the summer, the Southern Arizona Arts & Cultural Alliance brings FREE concerts to Marana on a monthly basis!! I've gone to a couple in the past and have really enjoyed the fun, relaxing atmosphere. Each month spotlights different genres of musical, which is an excellent way of exposing your children to different cultures around the world! It's also a fantastic way to establish community!
The concerts start at 7pm, but you can come and go as you please. Whenever we go to the concerts, we typically stop at Subway for sandwiches or pack a picnic dinner around 6pm and then head out to the park. This gives the kids time to run in the grass or throw a frisbee around. We have a nice picnic dinner and the kids shake and dance until they have nothing left in them! (Sometimes I've even had them go to the concert in their pajamas!) When they get tired, my kids just lay down on our blankets and count the stars. And then, it's home to bed!
The flier says that it is located at Crossroads Park...but it's not in a location you can see from Silverbell. There is a big grassy area located behind Wheeler Taft Abbet Library....that is where the stage is set up. So, parking by the library is best! I have seen people sit on blankets spread out on the grass, couples comfortable in chairs, and have even seen people dining on their card table, with glasses of wine! So, come as you please and be entertained!
Details for THIS Concert:
October 8th - 7pm @ Crossroads Park - Free Admission
7548 N Silverbell Rd
