IRVINGTON — Friends of Irving Circle, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization, has the mission of maintaining and improving historic Irvington’s Irving Circle Park, located at the intersection of Audubon Road and University Avenue, 236 S. Audubon.
Friends of Irving Circle will be hosting the 33rd Annual Summer Concert Series. These free concerts highlight some of the area’s top musicians and work to build community. Hundreds of attendees from the neighborhood and surrounding areas enjoy these summer evenings filled with music, friends and neighbors.
The 2025 Summer Concert Series begin June 14 and continue through August 16. All concerts are from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
• Saturday, June 14 – Women of Country Music featuring the Heather Rose Trio
• Saturday, July 19 – Blue Alchemy featuring Donn Smith
• Saturday, August 16 – The Auburns
Irving Circle is closed before the concerts, but parking is available close by. Bring your own lawn chair or blanket to sit on. It’s a delightful experience that the whole family will enjoy.
While serving as an opportunity for neighbors to gather and enjoy the summer evening, the concerts also serve as a fundraiser through concession sales and sponsorships. The money raised from the concerts helps fund annual spring plantings, mulching, fountain and bust restoration, general maintenance and park events like future concerts, Halloween festivities and winter holiday activities.
This year’s sponsors for the Summer Concert Series are Arbuckle and Sons Landscaping, Hampton Design, Irvington Wellness Center, Jockamo Pizza, John and Linda Kennett, Martine Locke, Realtor; Mundell and Associates, Inc., Oakley-Hammond Funeral Home, Sleepy Hollow Gourmet Deli and Café, The Snug, The Irvington Garden Club and Yajur LLC.
Friends of Irving Circle was established as a not-for-profit in 1996, a few years after an informal group began working to clean and maintain the park. The park is dedicated to Washington Irving, for whom the town of Irvington was named in 1870.
