For over 30 years, we've been bringing the best local musicians to just about every park in Urbana! Bring your lawn chair or even a picnic dinner and spend the evening with us in a lovely park setting. Each park features a different performance, all playing the very best music from folk to soul and rock to bluegrass. Except for July 3, the rain date is the following night in the case of inclement weather. Call the Urbana Park District Rainout Line after 4pm for postponement information: 217-367-9575, extension 21, or check our Facebook page.
Each Neighborhood Night features:
- The very best local musicians
- Free popcorn and lemonade
- Fun activities
- Meet City of Urbana officials and talk to them about your neighborhood
