The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Board of Parks and Recreation is partnering with the Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Symphony Orchestra (VSO) to bring back its very popular free open-air concert at Sunset Beach Park on July 6.
This year’s performance will feature recognizable music from hit films such as Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and E.T., along with a selection of classical favourites.
