Eight acts headline free music shows at Kensico Dam Plaza and Glen Island Park.
The Robison Summer Concert Series is turning up the volume this year, with more music and more locations to get you dancing all summer long. In addition to Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, concerts will also take place at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle. The series kicks off, Friday, July 11 at Kensico Dam Plaza with a performance by The Great American Soul Book.
With a wide range of musical styles—including country rock, a Taylor Swift tribute performance, soul, rock ’n’ roll, and the Army’s oldest active-duty band —there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “We’re proud to offer an outstanding concert lineup this year. Music brings people together, strengthens community spirit and creates opportunities for families and friends to connect. The beautiful settings at Kensico Dam Plaza and Glen Island provide the perfect backdrop to relax, enjoy and make lasting memories.
Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation Kathy O’Connor said: “Kensico and Glen Island are two of the County’s most popular parks. We want everyone who attends the concerts to sit back, relax—or get up and dance!—and enjoy fantastic songs from outstanding musicians.”
