A special performance

ANOTHER SUMMER NIGHT/OTRA NOCHE DE VERANO

MUSICAL PERFORMANCE

Battle of the Bands/Batalla de Bandas

Saturday, July 12, 6-8 p.m., Jackson Park - Hood River

FREE. All ages welcome.

The Gorge community is invited to “Another Summer Night” on Saturday, July 12, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., at Jackson Park in Hood River. Building on last year’s successful Summer Night event, this year’s ”Another Summer Night/Otra Noche de Verano” will feature three local Latino youth bands, including Nueva Tradiccíon, Trayecto Effectivo, and Grupo Siglo 20. Through the support of local foundations and community groups, this free summer evening of music will bring together music fans and families from across the community. Audience members will have a chance to vote for their favorite band in a fun, friendly “Battle of the Bands” contest.

This event will provide new opportunities for Latino youth musicians to become better known, inspire other Latino youth to become musicians, and raise the awareness of Gorge residents who might not have heard about their talents.

Acting on the well known stress-relieving and health benefits of music, the local planning team will be providing health and wellness experiences. The bilingual evening will include music, dancing, children’s activities, community resources, and delicious foods and desserts.

This special performance is supported by One Community Health, Juan Reyes Consulting, Hood River Rotary Club Foundation, Gorge Community Foundation/Salvador Fund, Hood River Cultural Trust, Hood River Valley LEOS, Hood River Lions Club, Consolidated Community Credit Union, Hood River County Prevention Department, RWN Naito Foundation, and Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association.
