MOOSE JAW — The Moose Jaw Health Foundation (MJHF) has released an updated schedule for its 30th annual Concerts in the Park series, which kicked off on June 18 at the Crescent Park Amphitheatre.
The long-running summer tradition features free live performances from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. each Wednesday evening until Aug. 20. Admission is free and open to the public, with donations welcomed in support of a significant modernization to the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unit at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital.
“This vital enhancement will allow health care professionals to perform more scans, faster, for patients in need of advanced medical imaging,” the Foundation said in a release. “Best of all, every dollar stays right here in Moose Jaw.”
Since its inception three decades ago, Concerts in the Park has raised more than $140,000 for medical equipment and local health care initiatives.
“For 30 years, Concerts in the Park has been a highlight of summer in Moose Jaw,” said Ryan Hrechka, chair of the MJHF. “It’s a celebration of music, community, and compassion. We’re grateful to the bands who donate their time and talent, and to all the supporters who come out each week. This is one of the Foundation’s heartfelt ways to say, ‘thank you’ to the people who make better health care possible.”
Returning as emcee for the season is MJHF CEO Kelly McElree.
“Concerts in the Park is pure Moose Jaw magic — great music, warm summer evenings, and the shared joy of giving back,” McElree said. “It’s always wonderful to see our donors, friends, and neighbours enjoying the show. Come celebrate the 30th season with us — it’s a toe-tappin’ good time you won’t want to miss!”
