Bring out the family, mingle with friends, and enjoy the music at the 63rd Evenings in Appleby Gardens Concert Series at the Appleby Branch Library (2260 Walton Way, Augusta) every Tuesday at 8 pm beginning May 30 through June 27. This annual tradition offers an eclectic mix of music from jazz to bluegrass to barbershop and remains free and open to the public. Bring a chair or borrow one for a donation and relax and enjoy the sounds of the summer. You can even pack an evening picnic or purchase dinner from a food truck. The Appleby Garden Party Competition is back again this year, and the public is invited to bring their best portable lawn party décor and food set up to vie for the title of Appleby Garden Party Winner of the Week.
This year marks the debut of a new finale concert on June 27 when we turn the stage over to the Augusta community for a Musical Open Mic hosted by Brother Trav.

Sign up during any of the first four concert series dates or beginning at 6 pm on Tuesday, June 27 (please note that open mic performances must be appropriate for an all-ages audience).
