The Summer Concert Series, hosted by Portage Parks & Recreation, returns this Thursday, July 31, at the Overlander Bandshell, 7810 Shaver Road. The headlining act, Eliminator: A Tribute to ZZ Top, takes the stage at 7 PM. Enjoy the signature sounds of 70s rock that is ZZ Top. Be a Sharp Dressed Man and don your beard, Cheap Sunglasses, and Dusty hats to get into the spirit.
Come early at 6 PM to enjoy the opening act, Gemini Moon, with alternative folk music. Floatin’ Franks and Kona Ice will be on site selling food and beverages throughout the evening. The Portage Parks Foundation will be selling beer and wine (21+, valid ID required), with proceeds supporting the Portage Parks system. There is plenty of lawn seating, so bring a chair or blanket, and your favorite dancing shoes to help make the most of your evening. This concert is sponsored by Boat City Marine and is one that you don’t want to miss.
Limited parking with a shuttle service begins at 5 PM and is first-come, first-served. A drop-off loop is available behind the Portage Department of Public Safety for those with limited mobility. The Central Park parking lot is reserved for those with special needs. Additional parking is available at Portage City Hall, the Portage Zhang Senior Center, and the Portage Community Center.
