Allerton Park and Retreat Center is pleased to announce our 8th annual Summer Concert Series. This outdoor concert series features local and regional music performances, food trucks, drinks, and family activities. Bringing the community together for a night at the Park, these concerts create a perfect opportunity for local artists and artisans to promote and sell their work to a wide audience. Our summer concerts draw anywhere from 500-1000+ people from the area to share in a fun-filled evening at Allerton Park.
Concert Dates*:
*We will only feature 10 artists per concert. Once accepted, there will be a $10 booth fee (due within 2 weeks of the acceptance). You will be notified of your acceptance no later than 30 days before the concert or sooner.
Event Load in Time: 12PM-5PM
Booth Space: We have a large grassy space for artists and their booths. Each artist will have a 10×10 space. We ask that you do not litter, poke holes in the trees, and that you leave the space as you found it.
Extras: We can provide very limited electricity, if needed. In addition, Allerton has a very limited number of rectangle tables available, so if you have your own please bring them. A tent is not required, but if you do have a tent, please make sure it is weighted or staked down.
Parking: You are free to load in as close to your booth space as needed, but after you unload your vehicle, you will need to move it to the main parking lot for the duration of the event.
Promotion: Allerton Park and Retreat Center website and Facebook page. Artists are encouraged to promote the event as well!
