The end of summer is less than one month away! So don’t miss out on some of the great local concert series still being presented in the area.

As the days cool (hopefully) and the days grow shorter many of these programs are coming to their season closures. Some of them are held outside in the open air and that’s always a great way to enjoy live music!
Listed below are six venues with 19 very diverse presentations of musical tastes. You are bound to find something there; you might even have to make some very tough choices.
Prices vary, many are free and all are very local and very enjoyable.
