Thursdays in the Park
Each summer approximately 3,000 people enjoy outdoor free concerts during
the Thursdays in the Park concert series hosted in varied picturesque parks and
places in Centreville and throughout Queen Anne’s County.
Coffeehouse 206
People are loving the new series of indoor concerts being presented at the
Queen Anne’s County Centre for the Arts, 206 S. Commerce Street. The idea
behind the series is to bring the coffeehouse as a music and art venue back into
the community. Remember the days before stadium concerts? You know, smaller
venues, a more personal experience with ticket prices that enable people to
afford to see local and national acts and still pay the mortgage? Imagine that?
Exhibitions
The Queen Anne’s County Centre for the Arts brings local, state and national
artists to the Gallery at 206 S. Commerce Street. The Centre for the Arts
openings are well known for exceptional art, food, wine and music.
