This past October, Bay County brought families and friends together for a Concerts in the Parks series hosted by Bay County Parks and Recreation. Every Saturday evening from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., residents gathered to enjoy live music and food from local trucks at three beautiful parks.
The series began on October 4 at Isaac Byrd Park, featuring a performance by Tracy Mick. Guests enjoyed meals from Tri-R-Tips Hawaiian Style BBQ and Kona ICE. On October 11, Simmons Park hosted the Grace and Grit Band, with food offerings from Grandma D’s Kettle Korn and Back Porch BBQ, creating another memorable evening.
The celebration concluded with the Fall Festival on October 18 at H.G. Harder’s Park, running from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The event showcased the Greenhead Band and featured a maze, pumpkin patch, face painting, and a children’s costume contest. Restroom facilities were provided by Parrish Portable Toilets to ensure comfort for visitors.
Commissioner Daniel Raffield expressed his appreciation for the series, noting that “Music, food, and community go hand in hand.” With free admission and a variety of activities, the series offered residents a meaningful way to enjoy their parks together.
