Pack your picnic and bring the family to enjoy this free concert with band leader Dave Cole and the Southern Dutchess Concert Band on the great lawn just south of the historic Locust Grove Mansion! Bring your own chairs and blankets and celebrate live music among the flowers and trees at our historic estate. Thank you to an anonymous donor for sponsoring this cultural event at Locust Grove.
