Arts in the Park kicks off its 19th year at Maple Island Park in Little Falls this Sunday, June 10 with help from local musicians Sheldon and Lynda. The country-bluegrass duo will be performing for the third time at Arts in the Parks and have been performing together since 2006. The performance will begin at 4:30 p.m. and go to 6 p.m.

It is the first of nine concerts that will take place this summer as a part of the Arts in the Park series. The events range from country-bluegrass to heavy metal, featuring performers such as Adam Hammer & Dave Coffell, Sons of Knut, Harper’s Chord, and Get the Gun.
