The City of Medford invites you to the first of three “Riverside Plaza Nights” concerts at the newly renovated plaza on Riverside Avenue in Medford Square. Kicking off the series will be Lydia Harrell, a jazz/soul singer who performs regularly in various venues in Boston, including the Marriott Custom House Tower.

Attendees are invited to purchase takeout meals from local Medford Square restaurants and head to the plaza to enjoy some relaxing music. Bring a lawn chair or make use of the many seats and tables available at the plaza.

Future performers will be Lisa Bastoni and Sean Staples on September 6, and Intra Element on September 13. All concerts take place from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
