GENERAL INFORMATION
Since 1904, Summer in the Parks has been an important part of the City's heritage. With the incomparable Marina Park on Lake Superior as the setting, concerts showcase performers presenting a variety of musical styles. In addition to great music, Summer in the Parks evenings feature children's activities, free draws, a variety of on-site concessions and an artisans market.

ARTISAN'S MARKET
The City of Thunder Bay is looking to feature artisans work at this summer's special events. A 'Call for Artisans' process will be initiated in late April. Click on the link below to download the application form for all the summer events.

SHUTTLE BUSES
An exciting addition to this summer's concert series was the free Summer in the Parks Shuttle Bus.  The shuttle brought concert goers from the downtown Heart of the Harbour parkade right to the festival area and could be flagged down anywhere along the route.  Make sure to check for shuttle routes and locations at the beginning of the season next summer.

SUMMER IN THE PARKS 2010
The 2009 season of Summer in the Parks was a great success and we are looking forward to another season of great music and activities at beautiful Marina Park. Be sure to check back here for updates as plans for SITP 2010 are in the works.  The 2010 Summer in the Parks line-up will be announced in June.
