[ARCHIVED] Montgomery Rocks Hispanic Heritage Month with Free Concert in the Park

Montgomery Park at Dusk with concert on stage.

The Village of Montgomery invites the community to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a high-energy bilingual concert, frozen custard with local police, and family fun on Thursday, September 18 in Montgomery Park (301 N. River St.). The park will open at 5:30P to the public, concert begins at 6:30P and is expected to last two hours.

The evening will feature live music by Symple Rock Band, a high-energy Spanish and English rock group known for their dynamic performances that bring people together across cultures and generations.

In addition to the music, families can enjoy Custard with a Cop, a community-building activity where residents of all ages can meet and chat with the Montgomery Police Department while enjoying free frozen custard, courtesy of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers of Montgomery. Custard available while supplies last.

“Symple played at Montgomery Fest last year and were awesome. We thought this event was a great way to honor the vibrant traditions of Hispanic Heritage Month while having a free event opportunity for our residents,” said Village President Matt Brolley. “We look forward to a great evening of music and fun in Montgomery.”

Guests should bring lawn chairs or blankets and arrive early to find a spot (park opens at 5:30P). Food and beverages may be brought in to enjoy during the show, in addition Grumpy Gaucho food truck and others will be onsite offering delicious foods and non-alcoholic beverages.
