The Tune Up The Parks series features local musicians sharing their talents with the community in local parks. All shows are free and start shortly after 7:00pm.
2023 performances are scheduled to take place in Colchester on Mondays and Essex Centre on Wednesdays between July and August.
New for 2023, the ACT committee is excited to partner with the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada - Windsor Centre to add ‘Sidewalk Astronomy’ to select Tune Up the Parks. Telescopes will be available for children and adults to experience telescopic views of the moon and other astronomical objects. See event dates below.
Interested in performing? All spots are scheduled for 2023 but, submit your expression of interest for next year beginning April 2024!
Cancellations and rain date(s) will be announced on the Town's Facebook page.
