7/7/2025 - Outdoor Concert: The Rakes at Settlers Park

Today's concert will continue as scheduled.

Summer concert series. Please note a new location!

Lucky Dog World Famous Hot Dog Truck will be selling foods during concerts. Between 5pm and 8pm, they will be offering hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, French fries, and drinks.

The Rakes are a band of 5 friends who have as much fun perfecting their songs as they do performing them; and it shows. Exceptional vocals are at the forefront with solid backing musicianship that compliments rather than distracts. Covering a diverse selection of genre jumping music a Rakes gig is a guaranteed good time. At their core, The Rakes are a countryish Americana band. But as you will quickly learn they defy the "country" label. Mixing classic rock, a little soul, a dash of blues, a "90's" music and even a little hip hop The Rakes exhibit broad appeal as they truly play something for just about everyone.

The concert is free and open to the public. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket. The concerts will be canceled in the event of rain - alerts will be posted to the P&R page southburyct.myrec.com after 3pm on the day of the concert.
