RICHFIELD SPRINGS - The Richfield Springs Area Chamber of Commerce has announced its 2025 Summer Concerts in Spring Park, continuing a local tradition of free public music performances in the village park.

Concerts will be held every Wednesday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m., beginning the last week of June and running through the end of August. Performances will take place rain or shine in the Historic Bandstand or the covered pavilion in Spring Park, located on Main Street (U.S. Route 20) in the Village of Richfield Springs. Attendees are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets.

The Chamber emphasized the park’s role in the village’s musical history, noting that Spring Park hosted frequent performances in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the area’s hotels, sulfur springs and bathhouses were in their prime.
