Goshen summer concerts return with Community Engagement Night

GOSHEN — Live music will fill downtown Goshen when the summer concert series returns to the Village Green starting Wednesday, July 5.
The series continues every Wednesday in July and August, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each night, according to Illuminate Goshen President Molly O'Donnell and village Mayor Kyle Roddey.
The country rock band The Black Dirt Bandits will play for the kickoff, July 5, which is also Community Engagement Night. Local non-profits and service organizations will set up booths around the concert to promote themselves and increase membership.
"We are hoping that residents will learn about all the amazing organizations we have locally and decide to get involved with one or more of these groups," said Roddey. "Our community is only as strong as our local service groups."
Service organizations interested in participating should email IlluminateGoshen@gmail.com or call Roddey at 551-0699.
"Illuminate Goshen is all about bringing our community together," said O'Donnell. "We are so happy to have many of our community organizations joining us to help kickoff this year's Summer Concert Series. We are looking forward to seeing you all downtown on Wednesday nights this summer!"
Roddey challenges every resident wto join at least one local service organizations.
"Every day we have new people move into our community, this is our opportunity to show them all the great ways to volunteer and engage," Roddey said.
Illuminate Goshen is still seeking local businesses to sponsor shows. A solo sponsorship for one week is $500, and two businesses can share a dual sponsorship for one show for $250 each. Interested businesses should email IlluminateGoshen@gmail.com.
