The Everingham-Pittman Band specializes in playing fun and familiar songs that transport listeners back to the ’70s and ’80s. They will play from 7-9 p.m. on the front lawn of Veterans Square.

If bad weather approaches, the concert will move inside. Until then, concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets.
