WELCOME TO THE 2021 CAMDEN COUNTY SUMMER PARKS CONCERT SERIES! The Camden County Board of County Commissioners is proud to announce the return of the Summer Parks Concert Series for 2021. After concerts were suspended in 2020 to protect the health and safety of residents amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board is excited to host this year’s theme, “Welcome Back to the Show,” and to invite county residents to once again enjoy FREE concerts in the county’s parks. Our team in Camden County has always worked to bring a robust catalog of fun, free, and engaging activities to our residents for the summer, but after losing most of our events to the coronavirus, this year’s concert series is especially exciting. In addition to making sure our shows are as fun and entertaining as ever, we will be taking additional care to remain in compliance with all state safety guidelines and to ensure that concert-goers can relax and enjoy the festivities safely. We hope you enjoy this year’s concert season as well as our full list of events happening throughout the County this summer. Visit www.CamdenCounty.com for a complete listing. Enjoy and Welcome Back to the Show! Camden County Board of Commissioners
