City of Everett kicks off Concert in the Park summer series

The Everett community gathered to enjoy the sounds of Knock on Wood

The City of Everett hosted the first Concert in the Park – featuring Knock on Wood – on Thursday, July 6, 2023, at Wehner Park. The Everett community gathered to enjoy the sounds of Knock on Wood in front of the gazebo at Wehner Park. Howie Newman and Dave Talmage, also known as Knock on Wood, are anything but a typical folk combo, performing well-known rock covers and funny original songs suitable for all ages. Their varied repertoire includes everything from Tom Petty to the Eagles to the Rolling Stones. Those who attended were also treated to free ice cream and refreshments to go along with the entertainment.

Mayor Carlo DeMaria would like to thank everyone who participated in the event. All are invited to attend the next concert – featuring Everett’s own Vinny Calderone and the “Good to Go” band – on Thursday, July 13, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Wehner Park (located at the intersection of Broadway and Lynn Street).

The Concerts in the Park seek to bring friends, family and neighbors together to enjoy live music and have a fun time together as a community. This concert was the first in a series that will continue throughout the months of July and August.
