Bring your coolers, picnics, and lawn chairs to beautiful Bangert Park at 275 S. New Florissant Road in Florissant to enjoy a fusion of Jazz, Hip Hop, and R&B music by artist Lamar Harris. This free event is open to all ages and will include lawn games and activities. The Backyard Popout, presented by the Kranzberg Arts Foundation in conjunction with St. Louis County Library Florissant Valley Branch, is a special event extension of the popular Music Mondays series held at the branch on the second Monday of each month, showcasing musical performances from a range of KAF-connected artists.
“We want to provide our patrons with the chance to experience a larger concert outdoors and celebrate the success that our partnership with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation has been. What better way to do that than live music in the park,” says Aaron Seidel, Assistant Branch Manager, Florissant Valley Branch of St. Louis County Library.
