6th Annual Summer Concert Series at HCA through August 3

Sponsored by Dell Technologies

The much-awaited Summer Concert Series at HCA is finally here! 

Friday and Saturday nights through July, we bring 10 incredible bands to get you on your feet and dancing. Additionally, we will be offering five Sunday jazz groups! 

Sponsored by Dell Technologies, our outdoor amphitheater provides the perfect backdrop! You only need your lawn chair, blanket, and picnic basket to enjoy an evening of rockin’ good music. And don’t worry, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll move the concert inside to our air-conditioned performance space.

So, what are you waiting for? Please mark your calendars and join us for a summer to remember at HCA’s Summer Concert Series!

To make the arts more accessible to all, this concert is on a pay-what-you-can basis.

HCA is located at 98 Hayden Rowe St, Hopkinton.
