Music Mondays
Music Mondays at Springwood Park- Summer 2022
Look for the APAC table at Music Mondays, the free weekly music series produced by the Asbury Park Music Foundation in Springwood Park at the corner of Atkins and Springwood Avenues. APAC is using this opportunity to meet residents in a casual setting to introduce ourselves and our goal of getting an Arts and Culture Plan created for the city. The popular concert series kicked off its seventh season on July 4th and will run through the end of August; all performances are from 6pm-8pm and include one opening act and a headliner. Attendance is often in the hundreds and is as demographically diverse as Asbury Park itself. APAC is excited to be in the community and hear firsthand of how the arts is impacting peoples’ lives; we look forward to gathering valuable feedback that will help shape our community engagement efforts going forward.
