The St. Michaels Community Center’s free, waterfront Summer Concert Series takes place on Thursdays from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Muskrat Park in St. Michaels.
Muskrat Park features an expansive lawn and covered gazebo for performers, and is situated between Mulberry and Willow Streets overlooking St. Michaels Harbor and the Miles River.
The free concert series begins June 16 and continues through Sept 1.
The concert series is made possible through the generous sponsorship of local businesses acknowledged at each concert.
Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or your own seating, along with friends, family, neighbors, your leashed dog, or just yourself to enjoy the concerts, with alcohol prohibited.
Bottled water and treats like popcorn and snow cones (warmer days) will be available for cash sale at the concerts, with proceeds benefiting the people served by SMCC.
The St. Michaels Community Center is committed to keeping the community spirit alive and well in St. Michaels and across the Bay Hundred Area by hosting numerous, community events and performing arts throughout the year.
Every summer, SMCC hosts a concert series for families and neighbors to enjoy in Muskrat Park. In the fall, our annual pumpkin pie baking context has created a healthy rivalry between local professional and home bakers, and our theatrical productions draw more than 1,500 patrons each year. In addition, many community activities promote family togetherness such as our Annual Family Shorebirds Game, Spring and Fall Neighborhood Block Parties, and Holiday Dinners at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter.
Many of these programs are funded in part by a grant from the Talbot County Arts Council, with revenues provided by the Maryland State Arts Council.

"Fall Into St. Michaels" & Annual Pumpkin Pie Contest
Our annual Pumpkin Pie Contest is held during the "Fall Into St. Michaels" celebration and has created a healthy rivalry between local professionals and home bakers for the bragging rights to our Championship Award.
Thanksgiving, Christmas & Easter Dinners
We're delighted to provide free holiday dinners for families and friends who otherwise would not enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas and/or Easter meals. Several of St. Michaels restaurants, markets and individuals support our dinner guests with donations of food, supplies and service.
Neighborhood Block Parties
Spring and Fall is when SMCC takes to the streets and hosts a good ol' fashioned street party and cookout for all of our neighbors and friends. Hot dogs, burgers, fries, chicken, salads, ice cream and desserts are as plentiful as laughter, games, fellowship and music. Everyone is welcome.
