Meanwhile, back on land, The Arts Council in Gainesville has booked a bunch of excellent concerts for 2017 — from Evenings of Intimate Jazz to patriotic music on July 4th to good old rock ‘n roll with the band, Back in Time.
The Arts Council’s Summer MusicFest has three performances scheduled for the center lawn at the Smithgall Arts Center in Gainesville at Spring Street, SW, by the old railroad engine.
Their Signature Series presentations bring big band and symphonic favorites to music lovers.
If that’s not the kind of music you prefer, you may rent the facilities and sponsor a Kazoo for You concert.  Or, maybe, Australian Blues on a Didgeridoo?  Your event doesn’t have to be music oriented.  Be the first to hold a Yo-Yo Flip Off in Georgia.  The opportunities are endless.
