Meetinghouse Arts – Albright Summer Music Series at Memorial Park
August 2 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 2:00 pm on Sunday, repeating until August 30, 2026
Meetinghouse Arts is proud to announce the return of its beloved summer concert tradition in downtown Freeport—now newly reimagined as the Albright Summer Music Series at Memorial Park. This renamed series celebrates not only a vibrant season of live music, but also pays tribute to John Albright, whose decades of dedication to local musicians and community programming have helped shape Freeport’s cultural heritage.
The 2026 Albright Summer Music Series in Memorial Park will feature a dynamic lineup of regional talent spanning genres from folk and blues to indie rock and jazz. Concerts will take place weekly at Memorial Park in downtown Freeport, offering free, family-friendly performances throughout the summer season. This series falls under our Music in the Parks programming, which proudly enters its fourth year this summer.
In addition to celebrating live music, the series will continue to foster partnerships with local businesses and organizations, creating an inviting and inclusive atmosphere for residents and visitors alike. Maine Beer is our exclusive show sponsor this season.
