15th Annual Summer Concerts in Dunstable

The 2016 summer concerts are coming soon to Dunstable: We have familiar, returning and new bands in the line-up as well as fun events planned every evening!

Again, this year we have a 'rain out' plan. If it rains on Wednesday evening, our usual concert night, we'll make it happen on Thursday evening (so long as Mother Nature cooperates!).

Are you on Twitter, Facebook and/or Instagram? Well so are we! Make sure you follow us on Twitter ( @01827Summer ) ; Instagram ( @dunstablesummerconcerts ) and on Facebook

So come on down to the common! Bring a picnic dinner or get let the Common Chef's do the cooking for you. But save room for dessert because we still have our "ice cream stand" - raising funds for future concerts!

See you on the common!

2014 Summer Concerts

Still recovering from that too-long of a winter?  Then come on down to the Town Common with your trusty lawn chair and park it for the Summer Concerts!   
The 13th Annual Dunstable Summer Concerts on the Common Series kicks off this Wednesday, June 18th at 6:30 PM at the bandstand (across from the Town Hall).   

We’re trying something new this year: In lieu of having a mid-August rain date, we’re going to have Thursday rain dates!  That’s right! If it rains on Wednesday evening we’ll postpone until the very next day!  

You can also get last-minute announcements when you like our Facebook page.

The “Common Chefs” will be grilling hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages & veggie burgers AND we’ll have our Ice Cream “Stand” every concert week! 

See you on the Common!

July concerts & updates!

After a rain out on the 10th the July concerts were HOT! The Transistors brought their cool “Sounds of the Sixties,” The Hollis Town Band came all out with their big band (on Vehicle Night!) and then Brian Templeton put on THE BEST Blues performance we’ve ever seen in Dunstable!

More good news: We’ll be making up the rained out Kim Poesse Band concert – on August 17th at the Grange Fair.  It’s a Saturday afternoon concert so come on down to the Grange Fair, check out the winners under the tent then sit down and enjoy the show!

We’ve got two more Wednesday evening concerts: We have Matuto to play their Brazilian Bluegrass on August 7th and The Bel Airs will Doo-Wop their way back to Dunstable on August 14th

Here are some pictures from our July concerts:

Two Successful Concerts!

Our 2013 summer concert series is off to a great start! The Old Enuff To Know Better Band kicked off concert #1 to a Town Common packed with people – returning families as well as many new faces (so nice to see you ALL!)  Also back this year was a couple of adorable ponies and a dancing goat from Enchanted Animals (Groton, MA) for pony rides and petting. They’ve promised to come back to a few more concerts this summer!

Making the call for concert #2 was a difficult decision, but it was definitely the right one! The band went on right at 6:30 under ominous skies and a dreary rain. Twenty minutes later the rain had stopped and the sun came out!
The concert was sponsored by Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union and they came ready to share fun beach balls and Frisbees!  And during intermission we enjoyed a karate demonstration from a young group from the Neil Stone's Karate Academy.

We’re off this week so enjoy your Fourth of July holiday!

We’ll be back on July 10th with some country music for you from The Kim Poesse Band!
‘Till then enjoy some pictures from concerts 1 & 2!






See you on the common!

Summer 2013 Concerts

We’ve posted our Summer 2013 concert schedule so check out the bands; you’ll see some familiar names, recurring favorites as well as couple of bands that are new to us!

Of course it just wouldn’t be right if we didn’t kick-off the summer Concert Series with Dunstable’s own Old Enuff To Know Better Band as we will on Wednesday, June 19th. Also back by popular demand: The Transistors, rockers Rampage Trio, and bluesman Brian Templeton. And it’s been a few years but we’re happy to report that The Hollis Town Band will be back on July 24th. Since they were so well received last summer we’ll also be bringing back that Doo-Wop group we enjoyed so much – The Bel Airs! 

In response to our survey last summer we’re bring a new country band – The Kim Poesse Band. We enjoyed their demo and are really looking forward to hearing and seeing them on the bandstand on July 10th – we hope you will too! 
The other new band you’ll see this summer is an exciting group of musicians called Matuto. Their music is described as Brazilian Bluegrass and they come with rave reviews. They’re from New York and have played music festivals across the country and at venues such as The Kennedy Center.  How we got them to come to Dunstable? We’re still scratching our heads on that one! You can see Matuto FOR FREE on August 7th

See you on the common!
