Nestech Concerts In The Park

Every year the Hinesburg Recreation Department is pleased to present the Nestech Concerts in the Park. Concerts are held Wednesday evenings from
6 p.m. to 8 p.m. throughout July and early August at the gazebo behind the Hinesburg Community School in the Village.

For over 12 years Nestech Machine Systems, Inc. of Hinesburg Vermont has generously funded these outdoor concerts. There's no need to leave town to hear great music... lots of talented performers perform right here in Hinesburg. Grab a blanket or chair, some snacks, and a few friends and enjoy a free concert in the park - a great community event. Hope to see you there!
