What to Know Before You Go:
Although the Summer Breeze Concert Series is free to the public, this year, they are partnering with local businesses such as Lazy Circles Brewing, Native Spirits Winery, Dogs on the Wing, and Beanstalk Coffee & Sno to offer food, snowcones, and drinks for purchase at each concert.
All concerts in the series begin at 7:30 p.m., but it’s a good idea to arrive early to make sure you have time to grab some dinner or drinks and find the perfect spot to enjoy the performance. Additionally, concerts may be canceled due to severe weather, so it’s always a good idea to double-check the Norman Summer Breeze social media pages if the forecast looks iffy.
