Upcoming Programs
Summer Concerts on
the Lawn
This year, 2008, will bring an expanded and exciting summer concert series
to the Brazoria County Courthouse Lawn.
The first concert will be May 17, from 6:30 to 9 PM, and features the
ever-popular Step Rideau and the Zydeco Outlaws. This will be the third year
for them at our summer concert series, and we are thrilled to welcome them
back again.
The
second concert will be on June 28 from 6:30 to 9 PM, and features Los Cuatro
Aces, a Conjunto band from Missouri City. If Step didn’t lay down enough
accordion for you in May, be sure to stop by for some great music in June.
The third performance will be the Chakaba Entourage. This group of African
performers will delight you with African drumming, storytelling, dancing and
an amazing Masked Stilt Dancer. This performance will be on July 19 from
6:30 to 7:45 PM.
All the concerts are free and held on the lawn of the Brazoria County
Courthouse in downtown Angleton. Bring your lawn chairs and enjoy!
