In 2024, we rebranded our long-running weekly summer concert series to the Rhythms of Summer and increased the participation of minority and vulnerable population musicians, artists, and vendors. We incorporated themes into each event, such as Honor our Heros, Blues and Brews, Soulful Sounds, Lively Latin, and Festival for Families, providing entertainment, food, and activities. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to diversity and inclusivity, providing an opportunity for a more diverse audience, including veterans and low-income families, to participate and feel included and valued in our community.
