Looking for Summer Plans? Watch Concerts & Movies in the Park!

Can you believe summer is almost here!? This year has flown by...but we couldn't be more excited for all the fun things happening in Durham over the next few months. If you're making a list of things to do this summer, definitely add swinging by one of Durham's beautiful parks for an evening of music or movies at the Rock the Park Concert & Movie Series. And we couldn't be more excited to announce that Pulse FM is the Series Event Sponsor this summer.

You'll be able to sit back, relax and enjoy family and friends while grooving to music or watching a movie on a big screen. Both activities are free and open to the public. There will be some food vendors will be on site and food will be available for purchase. We encourage bringing blankets and lawn chairs along but remember, no alcohol or smoking is allowed. If there is inclement weather in the forecast, our priority is keeping everyone safe! Before leaving for a concert or movie, call the Special Events weather line at 919-560-4636 and press #8 for the status of the event.

Here's a quick glance at some of the artists and movies being featured this year...
