It is almost that time of year again when the sound of music echoes around the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir and residents enjoy a free concert hosted by the Lafayette Rotary.
The concert this year takes place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 13.
For over 20 years the Rotarians have put on the spring concert that features local bands including Acalanes High School, Stanley Middle School, Bentley School and the Big Band of Rossmoor.
Joining them this year will be Westlake Middle School from Oakland plus the dancers from the Lamorinda Theatre Academy and the Town Hall Education performers.
The free concert will have food and beverages available and raffle tickets may be purchased with great prizes including weekend getaways. Proceeds benefit local school music programs and Rotary Club public service projects.
The annual concert was initially the idea of local Rotarian and Lafayette Citizen of the Year Dick Holt, whose goal was to raise money to support local school music programs. More recently, and with the help of the Lafayette Community Foundation, he raised money to fund the community stage.
The stage sits about 150 feet to the east (the left) of the parking lot in a shady spot near the children's playground with picnic areas and public restrooms available. Golf cart transportation will be provided to and from the stage area if required.
