The twelfth season of Brockport’s Summer Serenades series provides eight weeks of free live outdoor music appropriate for all ages.   This year’s line-up includes many bands sure to elicit a lot of toe tapping, dancing, and perhaps singing along.  The music, which can be heard from both sides of the canal, is set up at the Village’s Welcome Center, 11 Water Street, with plenty of room for the folding chairs and blankets that people like to bring.  While alcohol is not permitted, people are welcome to bring food, especially if purchased from any of the nearby eateries. The Welcome Center regularly hosts boaters, too, and a public rest room is available on site.  In case of inclement weather, events will be moved indoors to St. Luke’s Episcopal church at the nearby corner of Main and State Streets.  All events are on Thursday evenings – starting at 7:00pm in July and at 6:30 in August.
