Summer Concerts at Artpark
It is hard to imagine summertime without getting out and enjoying at least one outdoor concert. Lucky for us, Buffalo Niagara can count on Artpark in Lewiston to deliver an epic outdoor concert schedule. Just wait until you hear who is coming in Summer 2019!
There’s no better place to see a sunset than at Artpark!
Artpark??
If you are not already familiar with Artpark (formally known as Earl W. Brydges Artpark State Park) it overlooks the Niagara Gorge and has been empowering the local community since 1974. Here visitors enjoy your typical state park recreational activities such as fishing, hiking and picnicking. But what really makes Artpark unique is its rich legacy of progressive art and cultural influence. The park features outdoor art installations, festivals, family activities, community engagement programs, drama and art therapy, an interactive percussion garden for all ages…and some of the best concerts in the area.
The Summer Concert Series
There is a huge lineup of concerts and theatrical performances this year – so many, in fact, that you will likely find something for everyone. If you are into psychedelic rock, The Flaming Lips will be ready to entertain you. Are you a 90’s kid? Then get excited, because Sugar Ray, Better Than Ezra, Third Eye Blind and Jimmy Eat World are coming. For comedy gold, don’t miss Weird Al singing his famous parodies of popular mainstream songs. Are you interested in taking your kids to a show? The Nickelodeon role model JoJo Siwa is scheduled to be rocking the Mainstage mid-season. Kids will also enjoy Plasticiens Volants, a French theatre group which features puppets, illuminations, and massive inflatables which the audience is encouraged to touch and interact with.
On June 11th Lewiston will get a little funky with P. Funk
