SUMMARY:Summer in the Street in Portsmouth
DESCRIPTION:“Summer in the Street” is the result of an initiative to identify/create pedestrian-friendly areas Downtown where musicians can entertain folks in the heart of the City. \nPleasant Street\, from Porter Street to Market Square\, closes on designated Saturdays from 4:00pm – 9:00pm during the Summer. \nImportant ‘instructions’ for SITS..* \nAll evenings begin with the street closure at 4:00 and end by 9:00pm with the reopening of Pleasant Street. \nWe set up for all performances on Pleasant Street between Porter Street and Market Square. \nThe performance area is signed ‘No Parking’ in advance of the performances. Any vehicles not removed by 4:00pm on a program night will be towed at the owner’s expense. \n*Important fun facts about Summer in the Street: All performances take place on an extremely pedestrian-friendly Pleasant street\, so BYOC (bring your own chair) and enjoy the music\, bring a nosh and a beverage (no alcohol\, please) and note\, all performances take place – weather permitting – from 5:30pm – 8:30pm. \nOur Performers\n\nAll performances begin at 5:30pm\, and end by 8:30pm. \nJuly 4th\nSeacoast Wind Ensemble\nFor four decades\, the Seacoast Wind Ensemble has proudly showcased a diverse range of concert band music\, spreading the joy of music to communities in Seacoast New Hampshire\, Southern Maine\, and Northern Massachusetts.
