Six Sundays in Spring 2018 is nearing its end but there are still treats for music lovers in the music series sponsored by the Town of Wake Forest and Wake Forest ARTS.
Melissa Reaves is the featured performer for this Sunday, May 27. The John Brown Quartet will be the featured act on June 3, and the group’s appearance is co-sponsored by PineCone, the Piedmont Council of Traditional Music, Inc.
2018 is the 25th anniversary for Six Sundays in Spring, an annual concert series featuring free, live, outdoor entertainment. It began on the lawn at the Calvin Jones House (the Wake Forest College Birthplace) and moved to E. Carroll Joyner Park several years ago as the crowds grew too large for the lawn. It is scheduled on consecutive Sundays from late April through late May or early June depending on the year and gives area residents an opportunity to enjoy a variety of local and regional performers. All concerts are scheduled from 5 to 7 p.m. in the amphitheater in Joyner Park on Harris Road.
A variety of food and dessert trucks will be on site for each Six Sundays in Spring concert.
People may bring a picnic from home but alcoholic beverages and gas and charcoal grills are not allowed. Two large charcoal grills are provided on site. Unleashed pets are also prohibited.
If the weather is bad, the concert may be relocated to the Flaherty Park Community Center at 1226 North White Street. Updated concert information will be available by 3 p.m. on the day of the concert on the town’s Facebook page and by calling the Wake Forest Weather Line at 919-435-9569. Smart phone users who have downloaded the Town’s app will receive a push notification message informing them of any schedule changes.
