The is sponsoring their 26th annual July 4th concert in front of the clubhouse at Mount Hood Memorial Park.

Festivities will begin Monday, July 4th, at 6:45 pm with the Middlesex Concert Band providing music.

In addition, we have local singing sensation, Carissa Scudieri, singing our National Anthem to open the concert.

We are continuing the tradition of ending the concert with “Stars and Stripes Forever”, in which all children will be given free American flags to wave while marching in front of the clubhouse.

Come join us for a special July 4th celebration and bring your blankets and chairs to listen to music in one of the most beautiful and pristine venues in Melrose.
