It’s time for MoBand!
Do you have your blanket? Do you have your low table? Do you have your place in the park staked out? Have you told all of your friends that you will be at MoBand every Thursday evening in June?
Get your picnic basket and your big group texts and get great for the six-week summer series of MoBand Concerts in Graceada Park beginning June 4. These are FREE concerts from MoBand, founded in 1919 in the Mancini bowl with thousands of people enjoying a picnic and friendship. For people watching, classic John Phillip Souza marches and wandering blanket to blanket in search of a fresh glass of wine, this is a Modesto Hall of Fame. Don’t miss the season opener with new conductor Brad Hart and band manager William Melendez on June 4 at 8 pm. (get your blanket out early though!).
Please note that the annual 4th of July MoBand will be July 2.
