Altered Five Blues Band – Thursday, Aug. 9, 4:30-6:30 pm

***Update***

When the rain won’t go away, we move our Summer Concert Series indoors. Join us in the University Center Concourse as we celebrate 150 years in the community with a free concert, kids activities, informal tours and more. Free parking is available in lots 1 and 12, and drop off is available outside the University Center. Because we’ll be in the University Center, our fun expands into free bowling, billiards, and ping pong!
