Popular Local Bands to Kleiner Park
 

MERIDIAN – The Bri Kleiner Park Live free outdoor concert series will once again bring live music to Meridian’s Julius M. Kleiner Memorial Park on alternating Friday nights this summer! Six high-energy bands will provide free 7:00 pm concerts from the stage of the Kleiner Park Bandshell. Kleiner Park is located at 1900 N. Records Avenue in Meridian. The concert series is sponsored by Bri at the Village by Brighton and Connections Credit Union.

Those who attend the concerts are encouraged to bring low-profile folding chairs, lawn blankets, and their favorite snacks or picnic food. Kleiner Park’s concession stand will also be open on these evenings. New this year, attendees are permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverages, as long as they are not in glass containers and are consumed responsibly only in the amphitheater area.
 
On the alternating Fridays, when a concert is not being held in Kleiner Park, Sparklight Movie Night in Meridian will take place in Settlers Park, offering free outdoor showings of family-friendly movies. These movie dates are May 31, June 14 and 28; July 12 and 26; and August 9.

“Our alternating Friday night entertainment was a huge success last year,” says Recreation Coordinator Renee White. “Now with movie nights and outdoor concerts, families have something fun and free to enjoy every Friday night.”
