Music & Movies in the Park: 2018 Schedule
Summer is coming, and it’s time to get outside! Join your neighbors at Boerboom Park on Tuesday evenings in June, July, and August for Osseo’s all-ages concerts, performances, and movie screenings. This summer, we have new performers and new musical styles! Movies are planned every 2nd and 4th Tuesday. Local nonprofit organizations will again be on hand with treats for you to purchase. All concerts and presentations start at 7:00 pm, and movies begin at dusk (sunset times vary).
