🎶 Enjoy live music at Hungry Mother, starting May 22.

Every Friday from Memorial Day through Labor Day (except July 17), the Friends of Hungry Mother State Park will welcome a different musician to share their talents.

Bring a chair or blanket and relax by the gazebo on the Lakeview lawn as you take in the sounds of summer. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the concert to Picnic Shelter 2.

These concerts are free to attend, and donations to the Friends are greatly appreciated to help support future programs.

📅 May schedule:
May 22: Irv Sargent and The Early Times (Acoustic Rock/Country)
May 29: Georgia Randall (Blues/Bluegrass)
