Payson Park Music Festival
Our 33rd Season!!!
The Payson Park Music Festival announces its 33rd season of summer entertainment offering musical venues for residents of Belmont and surrounding communities. This year's season of evening concerts begins Wednesday, June 14th, and runs every Wednesday evening until August 30th. Concerts start between 6:30pm and 6:45pm. In August, because of the failing light, we begin at 6:15pm.
Because Payson Park (where the Series is typically sited,) is scheduled for renovation this summer, our temporary location will be in the Underwood greenspace above the pool on Underwood Hill. While not perfect, compared to other locations in Belmont, the site offers a flat(-ish) area for the Band to play from, easy access for the bands to unload, safe and ample parking at the Wellington School park, shade and comfortable grass seating (bring your chairs!), a childrens playground and sanitary facilities at the very nearby Underwood Pool Bathhouse.
The Town of Belmont requires that Payson Park Music Festival pay permit fees and carry additional insurance. Our Sponsor donations which pay for the Bands are dedicated to the Band they sponsor. This leaves an opportunity for Town residents to fill in the administrative gap.
We hope you will make a donation that is financially comfortable for you. We will list your donation on our website.
Thank you for your continued support!
We look forward to bringing music back to the community, and we look forward to seeing you at the park!
Payson Park Music Festival is a 501(c)(3) organization.
