Brandon, MB – There’s always reason to tap your toes in Brandon’s Princess Park during the summer, thanks to the eclectic FREE music programming offered each year by the City of Brandon’s Community Development Department!

The 17th edition of Brandon’s “Music in the Parks” summer programming kicks off in Princess Park on June 7th at 7 p.m. with a performance from Swamp Gas, featuring special guest Colin Evans.
