IN DOWNTOWN PLATTE CITY
Three summer concerts will be featured on the lawn of the Platte County Courthouse this summer.
All three are part of the Platte City Friends of the Arts annual Summer Concert Series in Downtown Platte City on the courthouse square.
Concerts are held the second Saturday during the months of June, July and August. Events run from 7-9 p.m. on the courthouse lawn.
The series kicks off with Stage Revolution performing on Saturday, June 8. The night will feature rock band students from Harper Haus Music in Platte City.
The summer series continues on Saturday, July 13 when Run For Cover will be the performing band. Run For Cover Band is a Kansas City cover band. “Run For Cover Band is a local band from Kansas and Missouri whose members love to play music,” the group says on its Facebook page.
The final concert in the series is set for Saturday, Aug. 10 when Cherry Bomb will take the stage. Cherry Bomb is a locally popular band that plays in many venues throughout the Kansas City area. “Featuring two lovely and talented female vocalists, four amazing musicians, your favorite, irresistible dance hits, and energy that could cause spontaneous human combustion, Cherry Bomb will ignite you and get your booty shaking with the best hits of the decades,” the band says on its website.
At each concert event, Connections Bank will be providing free bottles of water and frozen treats, plus handheld fans.
Organizers say a food truck and ice cream truck have been invited to each concert.
A “pop-up” car show is planned in conjunction with each concert. The event welcomes anyone to park their classic or “proud to show” vehicle on Main Street within the street closure barriers.
