Fort Reno Summer Concert Series Starts Next Week — UPDATE — Full Schedule Announced
Free concerts at Fort Reno Park, near the American University campus, have been a staple of muggy DC summers for more than three decades. Beginning next week, there will be a show each Monday and Thursday evening through the end of July at 7:15. Fort Reno Park is near the AU-Tenleytown Metro. Fort Reno shows are still embued with the spirit of the DC straight-edge punk scene, though a variety of local bands will play. Dogs and kids are welcome; drugs and booze are not. Crowds can be large, with a wide range of ages represented, though most who come are teenagers who are very lucky to grow up in DC.
The full schedule has been anounced, with a few “TBA” slots. Expect more news, and at least one or two show reviews, in the coming weeks. More after the jump. (more…)
