Hidden Gems Kick Off Summer Concerts in the Park

A summer tradition in South Brunswick returns this Friday with the first of the free Concerts in the Park series.  The South Brunswick Recreation Department will bring back local favorites "Hidden Gems" for a performance beginning at 7 p.m. at Beech Woods Park. 

The Gems celebrate the growing popularity of Hindi cinema and Bollywood, as well as music from around the globe especially among people of Indian origin, according to their web site.  The repertoire of songs in the Gem's performances includes melodies from old and new Hindi cinema. 

The Concert in the Park series allows residents to bring a chair or a blanket, sit back, relax and enjoy the summer weather while listening to a musical performance.  The series also features a family friendly movie in the park, as well.

The Bollywood-inspired performance by the "Hidden Gems" on Friday will be followed by a movie in the park on July 15, a performance by classical rockers 40 Winx on July 22 and a performance by folk artist Spook Handy on July 29.

All events start at 7 p.m. at Beech Woods Park, or in case of rain at the Community Center in Woodlot Park.
