Fourth-annual Sounds of the Springs Concert Series

The City of Powder Springs will kick off its fourth-annual Sounds of the Springs Concert Series on July 27 in Thurman Springs Park.

All three concerts — scheduled for the fourth Saturdays in July, August and September — are free and open to the public.

Opening the series on July 27 is Bumpin’ The Mango, an Atlanta funk & soul band influenced by bands such as Tower Of Power, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago and The Ohio Players.

Kasper and the 911 Band, a dance and party band, will take the stage Aug. 24. Closing out the series on Sept. 28 will be Guardians of the Jukebox, a “sonic time machine that transports their fans back into that iconic era” of the 1980s.

All concerts will start at 7 p.m.

Blankets and lawn chairs may be set up in the park, though no chairs are allowed on the artificial turf in the children’s section. No personal tables allowed. Participants are welcome to bring their own picnic to the concert. This does not include alcoholic beverages.

A selection of food vendors will be on site, while Special Blends Mobile Bartending will be selling non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks, with the latter allowed on the grounds of Thurman Springs Park when purchased within the city’s Entertainment District.
