Music in the Park Concert Series - Parsons, Kansas

06/11/2026

Alright music lovers here's the bad news...

Due to the weather forecast calling for possible severe storms in Parsons during the afternoon and evening, it has been decided to postponed tonight's schedule performance of the Wanda Watson Band.

Now the good news...

Wanda has generously agreed to reschedule her show, and will now perform along with Howard Mahan & Friends on Thursday, July 30th. These two artist's styles compliment each other perfectly, and it will only make that date more special.

Tonight's scheduled concessionaire, Outsider's Tacos & More will not be set up in the park, but they have let us know that they will be open for business tomorrow from 11:00 am to 2:00 p.m. at the corner of 21st and Main Street.

This was a decision that was not made lightly, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. The safety and comfort of our patrons and performers is always a priority.

This seems to be an unfortunate reoccurring topic for this year's series, but we are once again keeping an eye out on the weather forecast for tomorrow as it calls for a decent chance of severe weather happening during show time.

Please check our page for updates before traveling any great distances. We will ultimately make a finalized decision by 4:00 p.m. As of now we're planning on having a fantastic concert tomorrow evening.

Regardless of the weather we're expecting hurricane type conditions on the stage because the unstoppable force that is the Wanda Watson Band from Tulsa will be blowing into town! You don't want to miss Wanda's powerhouse vocals as she performs her unique style of blues music.

Grand True Value Rental is our show sponsor for the evening, and our good friends from Outsiders Tacos & More will be in the park serving up their brand of tasty food items.
