About

Our lakeside summer concert series “Music Under the Stars” began the summer of 2017 to provide good music, great food, and a fun atmosphere for people on and off land. Each performance is carefully selected – making sure that we deliver a range of styles to satisfy our guests. Whether you are a dancer, a head bopper, or are looking for a low-key space to socialize – this summer concert series is for you!
