The City of Elizabethtown is gearing up for its August Lawn Party at the Lake event.
The August event, which is part of a summer-long series hosted by the city, will take place Wednesday, August 7 at the bandstand at Freeman Lake Park.
This month’s concert will feature the Northern Kentucky-based Kentucky Symphony Orchestra’s 10-piece subsidiary group the Devou-Doo Daddies. Their performance is titled “Get Movin’ (Feet Don’t Fail Me Now) Millennial Versus Gen-Z Swing.” The orchestra says 1990s swing revival takes on 2020s hip-hop infused swing during the show.
Elizabethtown Events Manager Beth Pyles says each lawn party event offers food vendors, and while outside alcohol is not permitted alcoholic beverages will be on sale at the lake.
“The concert series is totally free and family friendly,” Pyles said. “The gates will open at 5.30 p.m. and the acts will take the stage around 6.30, so it gives you a little bit of time to come in and get seated. It is festival style seating, so we ask that people bring lawn chairs, you can bring blankets. We will have picnic tables, but it’s very, very casual.”
Pyles said the first year for the concert series was a successful one, and in 2024 there’s nowhere to go but up.
“We had such a wonderful turnout last year after we got through the rain, but we’re very, very excited,” Pyles said. “The bandstand at Freeman Lake is such a beautiful fixture in our community. If you haven’t been out to see it, it is the perfect place to relax after a hard day, and we’re really excited.”
