Live on the Common: Soul Ska

We are thrilled to announce the next concert in a series of Live on the Common outdoor music events for 2022. Enjoy an incredible Friday afternoon celebrating free live music, local food, craft cocktails, beer, wine and kid activities. Plus new to LOC—art!

Please bring a chair or picnic blanket—the Town will also be setting up some tables and chairs under the grove. Please note: the Ross School bathrooms next to the stage and the blacktop will be unlocked during the event.

This event is made possible thanks to a collaboration between Ross Property Owners’ Association (RPOA), Ross Auxiliary, the Town and an incredible team of volunteers. We encourage all Ross residents—homeowners and renters—to join RPOA or renew your membership for 2022 to help make events like this possible. Already an RPOA member? Please consider donating $10-$100 to help fund Live on the Common music and kid activities. Donations are 100% tax-deductible, RA/RPOA tax id is 94-2702046.
