Come enjoy the summer weather with live music at the @esplanadeinboston Groundbeat Concert this Wednesday, June 4th! Groundbeat is a free concert series at the Esplanade that supports local artists and producers who are committed to diversifying the arts in the Greater Boston Area. Besides live music, there will be a wide range of family-friendly activities including food vendors, lawn games, community partners, and more at the @massDCR Hatch Shell. (Pro tip: Get there early—the first 100 empanadas @bostonempanadas are free at each Groundbeat concert!) This Wednesday, the concert theme is Salsa at the Shell: A Celebration of Music, Dance, and Community featuring local Latin, Jazz, Rock and Hip Hop artists produced by @bosmusicproject. Taylor and Kata, the CRC’s respective Program Manager and Project and Event Assistant, will be attending this event—so come stop by the @CharlesRiverConservancy table! We’ll be in good company with @drinkculturepop @polarbeverages @massaudubon @tacc_boston @access2communityandfriendship . #groundbeat #livemusic #charlesriver #esplanade #bostonma #bostonmusic #outdoorconcert #soulresonance #bostonsummer (fb)
