Join friends and neighbors for the 41st annual Music in Plymouth!

Entertainment will begin at 5 p.m. with a variety of local favorites performing. The musical line up will culminate with a performance by the Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra, with special guest trumpeter Charles Lazarus. (Due to the uncertainty of the ongoing labor dispute between the management and the musicians of the Minnesota Orchestra, it became necessary to move forward with planning for this year’s event without the inclusion of the Minnesota Orchestra. This marks the first year in the event’s history that the Minnesota Orchestra will not perform.)

The pre-orchestra entertainment line-up includes a diverse mix of notable, locally-based ensembles:

♦ Belladiva, performing Divas through the Decades
♦ Socaholix, a high energy dance band with members from Africa and the Caribbean
♦ The Irresistibles featuring Mick Sterling, a retro-soul band fronted by vocal powerhouses Katie Gearty and Cate Fierro, along with Sterling
♦ Fire-dancers will perform just prior to the fireworks display.
♦ Roving entertainers will stroll through the crowd. Children will enjoy face painters and crazy hair. A variety of concessions will be available. Picnic suppers may be brought to the event. Attendees should bring lawn chairs or blankets.

The site will be closed to the public on July 1. Residents will not be allowed to leave blankets, chairs or tarps on the ground until after 7 a.m. on July 2.
