COOP Concerts
For 15 seasons this free summer music series attracts enthusiastic audiences to its family friendly downtown location by presenting a variety of talented Franklin County performers whose styles include Folk, Country, String Band, Singer/Songwriter, Bluegrass, Americana, Celtic, Comedy, Rock and Pop.
Bring a blanket, lawn chair, picnic, or grab a quick "to go" at one of our nearby food establishments. Greenfield Garden Club and other volunteers have been sprucing up the gardens and the park, which is located at the site of the original railroad station and offers a perfect place to gather and relax with friends and family. Children may enjoy the train play structure and are often thrilled to exchange waves with the engineer when an evening train rolls by.
All shows are presented by the Franklin County Musicians Cooperative, a non-profit of over 40 musicians, and supported by local businesses and grants from Conway and Bernardston local Cultural Councils, with funding from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
A full summer schedule and performer info will be available online at http://www.coopconcerts.org. Shows run from 6-8pm. and the series continues thru August.
