The Schumacher Lions Club hosted a 12-week Summer Concert Series in the summer of 2024. The event featured a two-hour concert every Tuesday night (Wednesday night for rain days) from June 11 to Aug. 20 in the Schumacher Lions Park.
It is free admission to the weekly concerts, although donations for the park upkeep are collected.
The concerts are presented in conjunction with the Schumacher Arts Culture Heritage Association (SACHA), DJ Taz, and PJ Production.
The bands featured are all local and are paid for the participation. It serves as a great showcase for local talent and provides free entertainment for residents and visitors. It is estimated that a minimum of 300 enjoyed the free concerts every week in the summer.
Volunteers with the Lions Club help set up for the concerts, sell food, barbecue and refreshments, and help tear down afterwards every week.
Chair Lion Mark West reported the totals for this year’s concert series at the Oct. 9 meeting of the club. After expenses, with donations from local businesses about $7,200 was collected. The funds will be set aside to help fund next year’s summer concert series.
