Virginia, MN Announces 2022 Music In the Park Line Up

Virginia, MN — With the weather turning warmer, grass beginning to grow and trees beginning to bud, Virginia Parks and Recreation is pleased to also turn our attention to thoughts of warmer evenings and fun activities in the Park. It is in that spirit that the department is pleased to announce the lineup for this years Summer Music in the Park series.

Due to the huge success of last the concert series the past two year’s the decision was made to continue the weekly series. There will be twelve concerts in this year's series, which begins Tuesday June 7th and ends August 30th. All the concerts in the series will take place around the fountain in Olcott Park and each and every Tuesday will feature a different selection of entertainers.

Attendees should bring a chair or blanket with them. Food and Refreshments will be available to purchase provided by local vendors that are supporting the concert series. The cost of the summer entertainment is funded by community and business donations. Local businesses interested in sponsoring can contact Virginia Parks and Recreation at 218-748-7506.

Park and Recreation Director Brian Silber stated “Our summer concert series committee was overwhelmed with the number of bands that submitted applications this year to play.” Thanks in part to the communities’ support of live music through their attendance and participation this year over 30 bands submitted applications to play in the series.

‘Greens on Foreteenth’ will be a professionally built 18 hole mini golf course with ADA accessibility. The course will feature a spectacular rock waterfall 💦 and a stream that flows into a lovely pond with a fountain!⛲️ You will find unique and beautiful landscaping throughout the course🌳🌺 We will have a clubhouse with snacks and a cozy indoor seating area.
