As the air cools and fall makes its way into the south, it’s a great time to be outside, and enjoy all that Woodstock has to offer its citizens, visitors and guests.
The last concert of this year’s Summer Concert Series will take place on Saturday, September 9, at Northside Hospital-Cherokee Amphitheater as Runaway June takes the stage to close out the series. A country music trio, they bring to the stage a sound that has not been heard by country music fans since the days of the Dixie Chicks. With songs such as “Lipstick,” their music speaks to the modern woman. The show begins at 7:30pm. More information can be found at WoodstockConcertSeries.com/.
The City of Woodstock and Woodstock Jaycees will host the 9/11 Day of Remembrance ceremony on Monday, September 11, 2017 at 7:00pm in the Park at City Center (101 Arnold Mill Road). Please join us, as we remember those we lost and honor our first responders and military personnel who continue to fight for our freedoms. Visit Woodstock’s 9/11 Memorial, which features two 12’ sections of subway track from the subway station under the World Trade Center in 2001. This piece of history, which was unveiled at last year’s ceremony, is proudly displayed in the Park at City Center as a reminder that Woodstock will “Never Forget.”
Also happening this month, join us every Thursday from 12:00-1:00pm in the Park at City Center for our Brown Bag Concert Series. Bring your lunch, and enjoy live music while relaxing on your lunch break or spending a morning outdoors.
And if you have not experienced Dupree Park’s new boardwalk and fishing pier, September is a great month to do some fishing! This project, constructed by the City of Woodstock’s Parks and Recreation and Public Works staff, is a great addition to Dupree Park. It also features a large playground, four tennis courts, two basketball courts, 1/3 mile fitness trail, a nine-hole disk golf course and two park pavilions. For more information on Woodstock’s parks, please visit WoodstockParksAndRec.com.
Finally, coming up on October 6, from 6:00-9:00pm, celebrate Oktoberfest at downtown Woodstock’s Friday Night Live! Grab a brew with your crew, and have a blast, too! Downtown merchants stay open late to give visitors extra time to shop.
We hope to see you at our outdoor events and in our parks this fall!
to your business!
