A Revival In Whitmore Park Tonight

A revival is coming to Whitmore Park. This ½ acre park on the corner of Calvert and Clay Streets in downtown Annapolis is quickly becoming the new community gathering place.

A year ago the only event held at Whitmore Park was the popular First Sunday Arts Festivals that brings over 40,000 people annually out to enjoy the arts in Annapolis. This year the newly formed non-profit Friends of Annapolis Parks teamed up with We Care and Friends to bring the Dixie Hotel Thursday Nite Jazz Concert series. These free jazz concerts are held in the park held every other Thursday evening. Attracting over 100 local residents to the park to enjoy an evening of jazz. Last week’s concert on Thursday evening August 9th, featured the local jazz group Raw Hands.
Now another group is teaming up to bring a new concert series to Whitmore Park. Tonight Sunday August 12th from 6-8pm the new concert series will bring Gospel in the Park every Sunday evening this summer. The first gospel group to be featured is The Spiritual Vibrations. This local high energy group will fill the park with a harmony that will revive your soul. This concert series will be hosted by Mooney Day.
