In celebration of Gilbert’s unique community, the city is hosting free concerts in the park every month! Wrap up 2016 with the last concert of the year on Thursday, December 8, featuring The Real Thing Band.

Families are invited to make themselves at home and bring picnic baskets, food, beverages and comfortable seating to the show, which will take place at the Water Tower Plaza in the heart of Gilbert’s Heritage District.

Presented by the Kona Grill, The Real Thing is regarded as the Southwest’s premier variety band, performing talented covers of some of today’s top hits, including Bruno Mars, Adele, Katy Perry and Maroon 5, as well as past hits from the likes of Joss Stone, Aretha Franklin and Foster the People. The band is a family affair, featuring Gilbert sisters Melisza and Jessica Gransbergen, along with their bass-playing father.

The show will start at 6:30 pm, and there is limited seating space avaiable, so come early to secure your spot!

There is free public parking just south of the Water Tower Plaza at the Gilbert Park and Ride on Page Ave.
