Central Oregon locals and visitors are invited to dance their Sundays away at the 2017 Bend Memorial Clinic Free Summer Sunday Concert Series.
These annual Sunday afternoon concerts at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, which start on June 4, have become a staple of summer in Bend. With musical styles ranging from rock to funk and from salsa to brass band, the sounds of this season’s free concerts will delight music lovers of all kinds.
