The New Providence Business Community is once again proud to present three summer concerts offering music and entertainment for the whole family. The free concerts will include magician Simon Mandal to entertain the kids, along with free hot dogs from Prestige Diner cooked and served by the NP Lions Club, and free ice cream from Zita’s Homemade Ice Cream for all to enjoy.
The first concert is Thursday, July 13 – 1910 Fruitgum Company. This band became a household name in 1967 in the US, UK and Australia when their first single “Simon Says” became a top five single in all three countries. The following year, “1, 2, 3 Red Light” become their second US top five. Their third and final big hit came in 1969 with “Indian Giver”. All three songs sold over a million copies!
The concert series kicks off with the 1910 Fruitgum Company, a nationally known pop band with three gold records! Kinderhook brings Country Rock to the borough, and the series wraps up with Asbury Fever, the always popular Bruce Springsteen tribute band. The concerts will be held on Thursday evenings in Centennial Park starting at 7 PM, rain or shine. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the sounds of the evening. If rain prevents an outside performance, it will be held inside in the municipal gym.
These free concerts, sponsored by the New Providence Business Community, are made possible because of generous donations from our local businesses: Advanced Financial Federal Credit Union; Allstate Insurance, Alexa Ciccone Agent; BITS Camp; Boxcar Transit; Davies Insurance Management; the Downtown Improvement District; Elefante Music & School for the Performing Arts; EverTech Corporation; NJ Sharing Network; NP Lions Club; Prestige Diner; Robert T. Robinson Orthodontics; Terrana Orthodontics; Tropical Smoothie Café; and Zita’s Homemade Ice Cream.
