Summertime is quickly approaching, and in Wapakoneta, that means the return of another season of "Party in the Park Summer Concert Series" has arrived! On Friday evening at Wapakoneta's Heritage Park, friends and families laid down their lawn chairs and rolled out their blankets to enjoy live music by the band Nixon Perry. Food vendors also brought out the salty and sweet snacks, and a designated DORA bar had beverages available for purchase with all proceeds supporting non-profit community service organizations in the Wapakoneta region. Organizers say not only do residents love the free concerts, they also have a chance to explore Downtown Wapakoneta.

The Friday night spirit combined with absolutely stupendous June weather led to a wonderful time for Party in the Park in Wapakoneta! On Friday evening, local residents and visitors flocked to the banks of the Auglaize River in Wapakoneta to enjoy a summer concert at Heritage Park.

Thursday night was the second Party in the Park event in Wapakoneta this year, and they are excited to be enjoying the new venue on the river. Fleetwood to the Max took the stage and people were seen jamming out and enjoying a brew or two. 

Neighbors on the north side of Lima brought their community out for a party in the park.
