Tupper Arts Presents the Summer Sunset Series! 

There's music in the air – all summer long! Keep your Monday and Wednesday evenings free, grab your lawn chairs or a blanket and make your way over to Tupper Lake Bandshell in Flanders Park. Bring your own snacks and drinks and settle in for an evening of live music on Sunset Stage with one of the most picturesque backgrounds in the Adirondacks. 

All of the Summer Sunset Series events are free and open to the public, and a wide range of musical performances is scheduled. The Summer Sunset Series is sponsored by NYS Music and NYSCA. Discover Tupper Lake — it's the place to be this summer!
