HISTORY OF OUR CONCERT SERIES
In February of 1977, Parks & Recreation and County Library staff met to discuss plans for holding the
County's first summer concert series for families to enjoy in a relaxed
atmosphere. The series would be held outdoors, so concert goers could enjoy the
natural beauty of our County. Children could enjoy the music or play in the
open areas near the concert area.
A total of five concerts were
offered that first year. From the summer of 1977 to the present, people would
either bring lawn chairs or blankets to listen to the Thursday night summer
concert series. Along with the blankets and chairs, a picnic basket of snacks
or full dinners were also brought. The "Music Under the Stars" concert series has continued to grow in popularity, attendance, and in the
quality of musical acts each year. Additional concerts were added to provide
music from the end of June to mid-August.
Initially, the performers lived
nearby and were locally known. With assistance from local businesses and with
individual donations, regional and nationally known artists were featured at
the concert series. Performers included Arlo Guthrie, Roseanne Cash, Janis Ian, and
Richie Havens.
In 2010 we began featuring many of our local talents who graciously donate their time. If interested in becoming a featured artist, please contact the Department at 908-782-1158 or email parks@co.hunterdon.nj.us for information.
We hope to see you at our Music
Under the Stars Concert Series!
