Lawn Concert – Magic Show & Jazz

JULY CONCERTS ON THE CENTER LAWN – It’s officially lawn concert time at the Elizabethtown Social Center and we have a wonderful line up of fantastic performances this July. Since 2015, our FREE lawn concerts have been an annual tradition in Elizabethtown on Tuesdays in July. The concerts are a great way to enjoy a night out with the kids. Special performances for kids start at 6pm followed by bands for grown-ups at 7pm.

We’re excited to welcome nationally touring comedy magician Alyx Hilshey! The evening begins at 6:00 PM with a captivating magic show for all ages. Alyx has spent years perfecting this unforgettable performance, entertaining audiences at events such as TED Conferences and alongside Penn & Teller. As one event manager shared, “In 15 years of events, Alyx brought by far the most positive feedback we’ve ever received!” Although Alyx is a local performer, this award-winning show has delighted audiences everywhere from Vancouver to England and many places in between. Filled with laughter, amazement, and interactive fun, it’s the perfect event for the whole family. Prepare to laugh, smile and experience wonder.

At 7pm, treat yourself to soulful, timeless jazz from Thistle Tulla Carson, featuring jazz guitarist Andy Tompkins. Carson’s versatile voice runs the gamut from powerful to sweet to sultry. There will be CD Sales to benefit sober active recovery of the Adirondacks.

Think of us when you want to get out, meet people and enjoy the arts without breaking the bank. It’s easy to forget how great it is to be part of a “village” – to see old friends and make new ones.

We extend a HUGE thank you to the J.M. McDonald Foundation, NYSCA, Essex County Arts Council and the Town of Elizabethtown for their grants, which make our lawn concerts possible!

Our concerts are held outside in our courtyard weather permitting. Please bring blankets & lawn chairs to enjoy. If the weather doesn’t cooperate we will be inside with A/C.

We hope to see you at the Center for our On the Lawn Concert series!
