The East Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Department has announced the lineups for its community-favorite Concerts and Movies in the Park summer entertainment series presented by The Brouwers Agency, Auto-Owners Insurance and Consumers Credit Union.

Free to the community, both series will be held at John Collins Park, 650 Lakeside Drive SE, overlooking Reeds Lake. One will feature music, while the other will showcase movies for all ages. 

“With the help of our sponsors, The Brouwers Agency, Auto-Owners Insurance and Consumers Credit Union, we are pleased to offer another fun summer of Concerts and Movies in the Park,” said Rachel Fiedler, leisure supervisor. “Both series offer a great way to enjoy time with friends, family and neighbors.

“We are excited about this great lineup and we encourage attendees to sit back, relax and enjoy this all-ages entertainment all summer long,” said Pam Slater, leisure supervisor.
