The Milford Arts Council will open its new music and arts series, “MAC in the Park” June 26 with award-winning soul/blues singer Alexis P. Suter and her band.
The event takes place at Eisenhower Park, located at 780 North St. in Milford at 8 p.m.
Suter has been nominated for Best Soul/Blues Female Vocalist in 2013, Blues Music Awards Best Contemporary Female Artist in 2017 and The Blues Foundation Koko Taylor Vocalist in 2015.
Participants are encouraged to come up to one hour early with a picnic basket in hand filled with sips and nibbles, a blanket or lawn chair and anything that will help to make the experience special.
“This dream has been in the works for a long time,” said MAC Executive Director Paige Miglio. “Our events were selling out, so the only way to be able to share the arts and make them more accessible was to expand outside of our walls. The pandemic accelerated our timeline, and it’s the best serendipity we could have imagined. The city has always been so supportive of the arts, and they have been very helpful in this venture as well.”
Tickets are being sold as “seating circles” that can fit up to four people per circle, and premiere seating is also available for best views and reserved parking spots. Tickets may be purchased at milfordarts.org.
