We had a great time listening to Alligator Zydeco at the amphitheater in Anson B. Nixon Park in Kennett. The band sounded great, the setting overlooking the lake is beautiful, and we got to say hi to lots of friends.
It was the first of a summer-long series of free Wednesday evening concerts from 7 to 9 p.m. You bring your own chairs, and you can either bring a picnic or buy food from the vendors. This past week Byrsa Bistro was offering a "Mediterranean sampler" of hummus, baba ganoush, cucumbers, stuffed grape leaves and olives with pita bread, along with their wonderful mint iced tea. Philter had coffee and cookies and La Michoacana had popsicles -- which were very welcome because it was a hot evening.
It's a very relaxed and pleasant way to spend an evening -- some excellent people-watching, too. The lineup of bands and vendors is on the park's website.
(By the way, dogs on leashes are welcome to attend the concerts, and there were plenty of them, including one little guy who is lucky enough to be spending the summer with his owner's mother in Kennett rather than with his owner in Manhattan.)
