The Waverley Park Outdoor Concert Series returns on Monday after two years of COVID-related cancellations.

THUNDER BAY – A Thunder Bay musical mainstay is back to entertain young and old in Waverley Park this summer.

Jamie Philp and Flipper Flanagan’s Flat-Footed Four will kick off this year’s Waverley Park Outdoor Concert Series on Monday evening, after two years of cancellations due to COVID-19.

Last week’s concert was cancelled due to rain.

The series is scheduled to run Monday evenings from 6:30 to 9 p.m. through Aug. 22, dependent on weather, with performances taking place at the Waverley Park bandstand.

Future concerts include performances by Southern Comfort, the Martin Blanchet Jazz Quintet, Gibson, Martin & I, and Rodney Brown & friends.

The series is put on by the Coalition For Waverley Park and the Thunder Bay Musicians’ Association. It began in 2018 after the coalition organized for a new electrified pavilion in the park.

Attendees are encouraged to “bring your lawn chairs, a blanket, maybe some snacks, and a little mosquito dope” to enjoy the evening at the historic north side park.
