Liverpool is the Place Summer Concert Series

After five years spent renovating Johnson Park, villagers christened the park’s amphitheater in the spring of 1985 with a performance by the Liverpool Community Chorus.

    Now more than 680 concerts later, the group that books the shows – the Liverpool Is The Place Committee (LITP) – celebrates its 30 ^th anniversary with 24 performances, from rock to country to big band, scheduled from June 1 to Aug. 19.

    The Liverpool Community Concert Band will perform patriotic tunes on July 6, and Jamie Notarthomas & Jungleland pay tribute to Bruce Springsteen on July 27.
