Save The Date: this date has NOT been confirmed.
The Marion Band has invited us and our cars to attend their annual British Concert, British Invasion, on Friday, Aug 1, 7:00-8:30pm. The concert will be held, weather permitting, at Island Wharf, across from the Marion Music Hall, 164 Front St, in Marion. Should be a wonderful evening of camaraderie and listening to great music under the stars.
4:30PM – possible dinner option, meet at BrewFish Bar & Eatery, 210 Spring Street, Rt 105, Marion.
6:00PM – meet in parking lot of BrewFish Bar & Eatery, 210 Spring Street, Rt 105, Marion, and then drive as a group to the concert area.
NOTE: Bring your own chairs, bring your own refreshments, bring your own food if you plan on a picnic.
MAJOR ISSUE FOR PARKING THIS YEAR!
The wharf area is a major construction site this year. They’re building a new harbormaster’s office in front of the old office. The parking area that we have come through every year, the one with the clamshells on the ground, has been fenced off to contain construction materials and debris. This has caused some parking issues. Last year, we parked our cars right in front of the bandstand, which worked out well. We can still do this on Friday.
CCBCC members/cars will need to arrive at the bandstand between 6:00- 6:15, and then we can park in front of the bandstand. The grassy area fills up quickly after that time. Use the first gate to access the grassy area. See two photos as reference.
UPDATES: check the band’s Facebook page at the link below. If a concert is going to be cancelled, the decision will be made by 5:00 that day. The Band Director will also call Cameron Ferguson if there are any changes which will be posted immediately to the website.
