KAUKAUNA — You won’t need to go straight home after work on Wednesday’s this summer. You’ll be much better off heading toward the river to take in the 2016 “Live! From Hydro Park” summer concert series.
The first concert is June 8, 2016.
Jason Lipsky of the Appleton School of Rock says the shows will run from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and will open with performances by students from the School of Rock.
Different area bands will perform each week at Hydro Park along the river in downtown Kaukauna.
The scheduled performers are:
