24 Days of Summer: Time Enough for Free Music

When is the end of summer? Not until after you've had time for these great events.

By Greg Hambrick

Summer not only feels better when you can get outside, but it sounds better, too. Today, you can catch two free outdoor concerts.
 

The last day of summer is Sept. 21. Which makes the first day of fall — Bingo! — Sept. 22. Patch has found something for you to enjoy each day as we count down until summer passes us by.

Today, Thursday, Aug. 29, Herndon’s Farmers Market Fun Days includes a performance by The Grandsons, Jr. The family-friendly show offers “wild music for wild kids.” The Grandsons, Jr. catalog includes “Serenade To A Poodle,” “Mama’s in the Kitchen” and “Hip Cowboy.”
