The Wilmot Bandstand Committee will present three, free summer concerts: Saturday August 3, 10, and 17. All concerts start at 6 PM at the Town Green at the intersection of Kearsarge Valley and Village Roads in Wilmot Flat.

In case of rain, the concerts will move to the Wilmot Town Hall, 9 North Wilmot Road, just off Route 4A in Wilmot Center. However, if there’s heavy rain or thundershowers, the concert on August 3 will be held at the WCA’s Red Barn, 64 Village Road.

“Music on the Bandstand is part of the wonderful summer experience in Wilmot,” said Ed Weaver, a founding member of the Bandstand Committee. Most of the bands are based in the Lake Sunapee/Kearsarge region.

Established in the fall of 2001, the Bandstand Committee garnered donations and with the expertise and donated time of many local contractors, the group built the bandstand on the Wilmot Town Green. The first concerts were presented in 2003. Music on the Wilmot Bandstand has evolved into a joint effort of the Town of Wilmot, the Bandstand Committee and the Wilmot Community Association (WCA),

“This is a terrific example of collaboration between the town and the WCA,” said Susan Nye, administrator of the WCA.

Each week a different not-for-profit organization prepares and sells a delicious, homemade supper. Free popcorn, underwritten by a donation from Coldwell Banker Lifestyles Real Estate, is available during the concerts. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited on town-owned properties, including the Town Green.

The bands and the not-for-profit groups that will sell food during the concerts are:

August 3 – Lindsey Schust and the Ragged Mountain Band, Cub Scout Pack 71-Sunapee/Kearsarge.* If it rains this concert will be held at the WCA’s Red Barn, 64 Village Road.

August 10 – Tirade, mix of rock & roll styles spanning from 60s to modern, Wilmot Volunteer Fire Department.

August 17 – Soulfix, favorite dance hits from the 50s through today, Friends of the Wilmot
Public Library.

Also mark your calendars for the town-wide garage sale set for August 24. The deadline to be on the map is noon Thursday, August 22. Proceeds from the sale of garage sale maps support the Bandstand.
