Music in the Park Held at Washington

The first edition of Music in the Park was held June 15th at Historic Washington State Park.  A good crowd turned out to enjoy the group “Runaway Planet”.  The Bluegrass group did an outstanding job.

The next edition of Music in the Park will be held July 20th.  It will feature the Hempstead County Melody Boys and there will also be competition allowing musicians and soloists to compose and perform their own original work with some aspect of Washington, Arkansas and its 200-year history as the topic. Area judges will award prizes at the end of the evening for 1st place–$500, 2nd place– $300, and 3rd place — $200.  Applications for the contest can be received by calling the Park Visitor Center at 870-983-2684. Applications to perform must be postmarked by July 3, 2024. Learn more and apply for the music contest at https://bit.ly/HWSPMusicinthePark2024.
