The long-awaited summer concert series is here! Today, we’re getting together at Lubber Run Park to enjoy a performance by the 257th Army Band (the Band of the Nation’s Capital).
Meet up: The concert is taking place at the Lubber Run Park Amphitheater. Although the concert starts at 8:00pm, it’s advisable to get there early to find ample seating together. We’d recommend aiming to arrive at Lubber Run Park by at least 7:30pm. We’ll use the OSG Event Whatsapp group to communicate and locate each other.
Parking: There is free public parking at Lubber Run Park.
To prepare: There’s seating provided around the stage, but if you want to sit farther away, you should bring a blanket or lawn chair to use on the grass. Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks as needed. In case of severe inclement weather, you can assume the concert is cancelled, but the show will go on if there’s only light rain.
