Final preparations are being made for Mentor Rocks.
This free, summer concert series saw record crowds at Mentor Civic Center Park last year. Organizers are expecting an even better turnout this year.
“We were thrilled with the turnout last year. We saw our numbers double and we want to keep that trend going by continuing to bring top shelf talent to town,” says Nick Standering, Cultural Arts Manager.
This summer’s lineup includes:
- June 21 – Dirty Deeds (AC/DC Tribute)
- June 28 – Out of Eden (Eagles Tribute)
- July 5 – Victory Highway (Rock/Country/Hits)
- July 12 – Post Road (Country)
- July 19 – Wanted (Bon Jovi Tribute)
- July 26 – Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd Tribute)
- August 2 – Midlife Chryslers (featuring Michael Stanley)
Concert goers enjoy a festival like atmosphere with not only music, but games, prizes and an array of fresh food options. This year’s food vendors include Jimmy’s Backyard BBQ, Scotts Fire & Ice (Wood Fire Pizza), Tommy’s Gourmet Dawgs & BBQ, Classic Kettle Corn and Snowie Shaved Ice.
New this year; beer sales.
“One of the biggest requests we’ve had is beer sales so we’re going to offer a selection of domestic and import beers as well as a showcase beer-of-the-week”, says Standering.
Concerts are held on Tuesday evenings beginning at 7 PM. Mentor Civic Center Park is located at 8600 Munson Road in Mentor. Learn more at www.mentorrocks.info
