The Fairfax County Park Authority (FCPA) is gearing up for another fantastic season of the Summer Entertainment Series with more than 180 live performances at 18 locations throughout the county! This year’s event schedule features entertaining family-friendly performances and features for residents of all ages. Outdoors, in the long twilight of warm summer nights, the concerts offer a time to relax, share a picnic supper and catch up with friends and neighbors. 

The lineup includes a wide array of performances from classical to bluegrass and everything in between! There will also be children’s performances, music and dance from around the world and a drive-in movie. These free events are made possible thanks to a partnership with local government leaders, the Fairfax County Park Foundation, businesses and a host of volunteers who support the parks and their programs.
