Concert series at Gardens on Havana

The Gardens on Havana retail complex (home to Kohl’s, Sprouts, Ulta and Target) has a garden, a rose garden, to be exact, in the back row of stores just south of Dick’s Sporting Goods and Maurice’s. It hosts a FREE summer community concert series from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the last Tuesday of each month.

Bring a lawn chair or blanket and your non-alcoholic drinks. The 2018 schedule:
