Summers in downtown are simply the best way to relax and unwind, especially Thursday evenings at the CFCU Summer Concert Series that kicks off June 20th at the Bernie Milton Pavilion stage in Bank Alley on the Ithaca Commons!

The series is a FREE outdoor concert series open to the public held every Thursday evening from 6-8pm, June 20th – September 12th (with a brief hiatus the week of 4th of July and a Wednesday show on July 17, the week of Grassroots Festival).

Local and national acts perform music in genres including jazz, blues, reggae, folk, hip hop, country, bluegrass, rock, and more.

The concerts are all ages, so bring the whole family! And, stick around for dinner and enjoy the Downtown Ithaca evening nightlife.

Our bar will offer beer from Seneca Beverage, wine from Wagner Vineyards, and sodas for purchase throughout the concerts.
