“Thursdays in the Park” begins in June at Millstream Park in Centreville, MD with a rousing performance by the Kent Island Band. The free concert series features bands both local and regional, and showcases different musical genres from Bluegrass to Celtic, Gospel to Jazz. Presented by the Queen Anne’s County Arts Council, the series is in its eighteenth year.
