The Quebe Sisters will perform at a free concert at Parker Press Park in Woodbridge, June 24.
Many New Jersey communities present a free night of music, once a week, throughout some portion of the summer. Woodbridge, though, is outdoing virtually all of them with five nights of free music: Oldies on Mondays; tribute bands on Tuesdays; folk, blues, world and roots music on Wednesdays; local bands on Thursdays; and country on Sundays.
Here is the schedule; for more information, visit woodbridgeartsnj.org.

This info is not accurate. The Thursday. Ands are at the Parker Press. Not the community center. At least that’s what the advertising posters say. How are people supposed to know where to go?
I meant the Thursday bands….
One of the organizers told me that Thursday location has been changed. It says so here too: http://woodbridgeartsnj.org/free-concerts.html
Does anyone know of a concert in Avenel June 10 at Avenel park 7:30? I have it on my calendar and now can’t find any info. Thanks.
There’s a concert at Pelzman Park, which is in Avenel, by the Dalton Gang: http://woodbridgeartsnj.org/second-friday-jazz.html
