Hump Day Concerts Bring Free Music To Syracuse

7/30/2009


By Matt Granato


Every Wednesday this summer at the Inner Harbor the Hump Day Concert Series brings Syracuse a free show. The shows run all summer long up until Labor Day, and brings classic rock and local acts together for a night of entertainment.

The Bands

The concert series is only in its first year, but it is already the largest outdoor concert series in Central New York according to Pam Levine of Strategic Partnership Services. A lot of that popularity comes from the price of admission, and the acts that play the shows. Some of the bands that are scheduled to play this August are The Outlaws, Foghat, Little Feat, Skid Row, and Marshall Tucker Band. Levine says that each Wednesday between 8,000 and 10,000 people come out to enjoy the event.

The Harbor

The Inner Harbor hosts the concerts each Wednesday and Levine says its a great location to have the them because people seem to enjoy coming out, bringing blankets and chairs, and relaxing by the water. There is food and beverages available there, but unlike the price of admission, they will charge you for the refreshments.
