The tradition continues in Merritt this summer as the city announced it’s line-up for the 2026 Music In The Park concert series which begins in July.
The weekly showcase of local and regional talent has this year been divided into two locations; at Merritt’s Rotary Park and returning to Merritt’s Spirit Square on Granite Avenue.
Janet Allsopp with the city’s Recreation Department says dividing the venues will provide vital information.
“We selected the two locations to better evaluate which venue draws stronger attendance and community engagement,” said Allsopp. “This approach will help provide a clearer understanding of where residents are most likely to gather and support future planning for upcoming seasons.”
The Music In the Park will begin on July 2nd at Spirit Square. As in past years, the events will be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and spectators are encouraged to bring their own chairs.
