Music on Main has just announced nine free outdoor concerts taking place this month. 

All performances take place at 6:30 pm at Mount Pleasant Park, located at W. 16th Avenue and Ontario Street. 

"Make yourself comfortable by bringing a chair or a blanket as we welcome you back safely and socially distanced to experience gorgeous music in the park," reads the event info on the Music on Main website. "The parks are also great for a post-concert picnic too. Why not escape the bustling of daily life and simply listen?"
