Most Lakewood summer roundups read like a stack of flyers. Concert here, festival there, some galleries you should visit. If you already live off Wadsworth or up in Green Mountain, that version of the post is useless. You know the parks. You know Belmar has a plaza.
What you may not have noticed is that this summer's calendar has quietly organized itself around three predictable slots. A Wednesday. A Friday. And one Friday in July that behaves differently than all the others. Once you see the pattern, planning stops feeling like an obligation and starts feeling like a standing reservation with the city.
Wednesday Is Concert Night at Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park
The Sounds Exciting! Summer Concert Series is back at the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation Amphitheater inside Heritage Lakewood Belmar Park, 801 S. Yarrow St.
