Summer Days and Sun Rays – Fun Things to Do in June!

June 1, 2018

Summer’s here, and it brings an abundance of concert series, festivals and community get-togethers with it! From cultural celebrations to weekly tunes, Denton County has a variety of events for music lovers, crafters, outdoorsy folks and more planned for June every single week – but don’t worry! DCTA can get you to every one of these events (and others) throughout the month.

 

Denton Twilight Tunes

The best way to kick off summer is start new weekly traditions for your school-free weeks! Twilight Tunes is a FREE weekly concert series offers music for all tastes – whether you like rockabilly and country or rock and soul, there’s something for everyone! Feel free to bring blankets, chairs and food so you can sit back, relax and enjoy great music and a beautiful Texas sunset from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Ride Denton Connect Routes 7 and 8 to get a perfect spot on the courthouse lawn.

Sounds of Summer Highland Village

There aren’t many things that are better than listening to great bands play in the summer sun while browsing the Shops of Highland Village, and Sounds of Summer gives you the opportunity to do just that! Different bands will be taking the stage every Thursday in June from 7 to 9 p.m. to serenade shoppers and provide some great start of the summer entertainment. You’re welcome to bring blankets, chairs and picnic baskets or order to-go food from one of the many delicious restaurants the shops has to offer.
