HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Municipal Band announced Wednesday that it has a new location for performances beginning with the June 22 concert. The new location will be in Carey Park between the zoo and the homebuilders shelter.
The new performance location was used last summer during the band’s season that was impacted by COVID-19. Support for the new performance space was provided by a grant from the Hutchinson Community Foundation in partnership with the City of Hutchinson. In addition, the Hutchinson Zoo will be making changes to its operations to welcome concert goers by opening from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. each Tuesday before the concert. The organization also announced that food trucks will be available along with restrooms and picnic tables.
To help with the change in location, the band was awarded $2,000 to help build a 30’ x 40’ concrete pad that will serve as the base for Municipal Band performances, along with electrical service to the pad and landscaping.
Work should be ready in time for the Salt City Jazz Band’s performance on June 22. The Reno County Farmers Market will continue to be used as a rain location should weather not permit use of Carey Park.
