Music on the Wilmot Bandstand, a joint effort of the Town of Wilmot, the Bandstand Committee, and the Wilmot Community Association (WCA), will present six free summer concerts on Saturdays from 6 to 7:30 PM from July 11 through August 15.

Concerts will be on the Wilmot Town Green at the intersection of Kearsarge Valley and Village roads. In case of rain the concerts will move to the Wilmot Town Hall on North Wilmot Road, just off Route 4A. If it rains on August 8, the concert will be held at the WCA’s Red Barn on Village Road.

As in previous years, in 2015 the Town of Wilmot will pay for the summer concerts. The WCA will promote the concerts and coordinate the concessions.

“Music on the Bandstand is part of the wonderful summer experience in Wilmot,” said Ed Weaver, a founding member of the Bandstand Committee. “We are pleased to include a new local band – the Granite State Stompers – in our lineup this year.”

Established in 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.

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

Free popcorn, underwritten by a donation from Country Houses Real Estate, is available during the concerts. Alcoholic beverages may not be consumed on Town-owned properties, including the Wilmot Town Green.

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

July 11: Mach Turtle, rock and roll. Food will be sold by the Wilmot Ladies Aid Society.

July 18: The Fondtones, doo-wop and classics. Pine Hill Cemetery Association will sell food.
