Sandstone Summer Concert Series

Wednesdays | 6:30 - 8:30 pm

The 2022 series is back! Now on Wednesday evenings through August 10th. Thanks to so many of you who came out to kick off the Sandstone Summer Concerts last week. After checking in with our small, independently owned businesses, the feedback was that Wednesdays is preferred by our local businesses, who continue to establish and grow their roots in Lyons.

We look forward to our partnership with the Lyons Community Foundation which supports this annual 10-week series.

Next up on Wednesday, June 15 is local talent, The 89's.

Mark your calendar for Wednesdays this summer and and reconnect with your neighbors or meet new friends. Don't miss it! View the summer line up!
