Free Music, Fresh Vibes: L.L. Bean Announces New Dates for ‘Summer in the Park’ Series

Want a great road trip idea? Check this out.

As if we aren't spoiled enough here in Maine, particularly in the Bangor area, with a ton of incredible concerts each and every year, there are even more options when you explore the rest of the state.

One of the great things about living here, is the number of places you can travel to in the warmer months, so how about another road trip idea?

There is nothing better than being outdoors on a warm summer night, enjoying fantastic live music!

Over the last several years, the flagship location of L.L. Bean in Freeport has been hosting a "Summer in the Park” live concert series, which just happens to be free to the public.

They have snagged some pretty big names over the years, including artists like Gavin DeGraw, The Fray, Melissa Etheridge and others.

Another summer season has begun, with a lineup of shows to enjoy outside, and best of all, they are free to the public.

Here is the "L.L.Bean Summer in the Park" schedule:
