Concerts in the Park
Menu
Welcome to Concerts in the Park, presented by Ontario Power Generation!
Concerts in the Park is an annual summer series showcasing local talent from Eastern Ontario. While typically hosted at Robert Simpson Park's Gazebo Stage, this year will see a split between two parks as Robert Simpson Park undergoes a renovation. Performances run from 2:00pm-4:00pm for ten Sundays, beginning the week after our annual Priorpalooza Music Festival. The Town of Arnprior and the Recreation Department are excited to bring the sound of music back this summer. Come join us!
