Concerts and Movies in the Park are a Smart Choice for 2021
We’ve all been missing concerts and movies since the state shutdown last year. Now that summer is here, we can enjoy some more of our favorite things, as outdoor gatherings are a safer bet than an indoor show.
While many concerts and movies in the park are still cancelled for 2021, we’ve found some local municipalities who are trying to bring on the summer fun, with socially-distanced protocols.
Grab your picnic blanket or low-backed lawn chair and get ready to soak up the sights and sounds at your favorite park.
I think we all know the rules by now for gathering with others: keep 6 feet distance between yourself and others and bring your hand sanitizer.
