2010 Blues in the District Info…

Hey folks, Here’s your 2010 FREE Blues in the District Info: Concerts are held in Quincy’s Historic Washington Park, (1 square city block) located downtown, from Maine St to Hampshire, from 4th to 5th St.

There’s plenty of great shade trees, and they always have a food vendor on site for each event. You need to bring your own chairs, blanket, and you can even bring in your cooler, picnic basket etc…(please try not to eat up all the space in the park-there are a lot of folks wanting to share this prime real estate).  The concerts are always on Fridays, and start at 5pm, and run until 9pm.

Here’s the lineup–as taken from the fine folks down “In the District”
