Chandler residents can head out to Veterans Oasis Park for the city's annual Sonoran Sunset Series.
On the third Thursday of the month, from October 20 through March 16, talented musicians and entertainers will perform an array of acts for music lovers at this series of free open-air concerts, according to a news release from the city of Chandler. Jazz, country, feel-good rock, and even the sounds of multiple eras take to the park’s main stage from 6 to 7:30 p.m.
“Fall in Chandler has always been a time to get outside and socialize, something that’s easy to do thanks to Sonoran Sunset Series’ bountiful outdoor concert lineup,” said Theo Anglin, Recreation Coordinator and event organizer, in the release. “Residents can make a night of it by walking around the lake or visiting one of the many park trails and then enjoying music under the stars in this beautiful neighborhood.”
Parkgoers are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs for their viewing pleasure. Seating is available on a first come, first-serve basis and it is not necessary to register for this event. Food and small coolers are also welcome; alcohol is not permitted.
