Dancing through the summer
The June 2 kickoff of this season’s Friday Night Music Series drew the largest crowd the popular summertime event has ever seen to the Morgan Hill Downtown Amphitheater, and organizers promise the fun won’t let up as the series continues over the next 12 weeks.“We have a stellar lineup (of bands) all the way through” the summer, said Rich Firato, Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce board member and chair of the FNMS committee. “Not every community has these featured cover bands playing.”On June 2, cover band Entourage was the main act at the music series. Firato estimated more than 3,000 people attended the show.With the large crowd and accompanying cars looking for parking came some complaints. Some attendees noted that the event layout blocked off some parking spots designated for disabled people, but Firato said that issue will be resolved before the June 9 show.Organizers are constantly looking for ways to improve the event anyway, Firato said.“We’re just trying to improve all the logistics that go into the concert, because there’s so many people that enjoy it,” Firato said.The series continues 6 to 9 p.m. every Friday until Sept. 1, with a different main act entertaining the crowd. Before the main act and in between sets, local artists, students and children perform. Food, beer and wine are for sale at each event, and attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to make a “perfect evening” out of their Friday night in downtown Morgan Hill, Firato said.The FNMS is organized by the Chamber. Attendance is free.This Friday, June 9, Night Fever, “a high energy dance band,” will headline the FNMS, Firato said.For a full lineup of FNMS performers and more information, visit morganhill.org.
