DEL NORTE - Summer has finally arrived in Del Norte and though the construction is blocking what is sure to be a wonderful view, Music in the Park is the place to be on Thursday nights. It is sponsored by Rhythms on the Rio. 

It takes place at North Park/Riverwalk Park area – at the north end of Spruce Street from 6-9 p.m. 

This year’s lineup is one for books, bringing musical talent from local and visiting hand-picked bands to liven up summer nights. So, put on those dancing shoes and mark the calendar. 

Music in the Park kicked off on June 12 with the Hughs Phillip Band. The park was full of guests eager to enjoy a summer evening outside and as families, friends and neighbors settled down for a night of great music, the band hit the stage, and the summer was officially off to a great start in Del Norte. 

Coming up on June 19, Del Norte will welcome FinalEyes, a band from Denver that brings an eclectic 80s edge to their music and is one that is sure to get crowds on their feet to dance the night away.  

According to their bio, “We are a high energy, live music show, that plays the biggest dance party hits, made to fill the dance floor. FinalEyes brings you the beat of 80’s rock, today’s hottest hits, and timeless classics. FinalEyes is what you get when you combine the music and live energy, with a full night of entertainment you will never forget.
