By Steve Metsch

Eight weeks of free music will be presented in the gazebo at Veterans Park in Lyons starting on July 11.

The village’s “Music in the Park” series presents a wide variety of music from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday nights.

There will be free concessions and beverages provided by Lyons Mayor Christopher Getty. It’s a good idea to bring along a lawn chair. The park is on Lawndale Avenue, between Ogden Avenue and the village hall.

Here’s the lineup:

July 11: The Redmonds play classic and contemporary rock.

July 18: Tony & The Affects perform rock ‘n’ roll hits from the ‘50s and ‘60s.
