CONCERTS BY CITY - ALL CITIES This page lists concerts for all counties and locations by city name. Click on the appropriate section of the alphabet for the city you are looking for, or continue scrolling down the page. Please remember that although every attempt is made to bring you the most current concert information, all schedules are subject to change. It is recommended that you confirm any performance you wish to attend. A - D | E - I | J - L | M - R | S - Z A WARM WELCOME TO LOCAL CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND DOWNTOWN BUSINESS ASSOCIATIONS: Over the years since the site started, the number of community organizations and businesses supporting and/or sponsoring concert series has continued to grow. While the site first and foremost encourages all concert attendees to support the vendors/concessionaires at the concerts, there are also some of you who perhaps might be interested in knowing what else you can do in town before or after the performances. As a result, all city Chambers of Commerce or Downtown Business Districts (whichever is more appropriate) are being invited to participate in the site. For the remainder of this summer, you will begin to see links under city names on both the "Concerts By City - All Cities" and "Concerts By City" county pages for cities which have indicated an interest in having a link available on the site. Links are provided to the local Chamber of Commerce or Downtown Business District, and through these links site visitors should be able to access further information on things to do within each of the cities. ALL cities are invited to participate; if your city's Chamber of Commerce has not received a letter already, it should be receiving one within the next few days. Please support all the local businesses and organizations who have kept the concerts going even through these tough economic times! [2013 NOTE: LINKS WERE VALID ONLY FOR THE SUMMER OF 2010, AND LINKS FOR THOSE CITIES/CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE WHO ELECTED TO TAKE PART IN THE PROGRAM HAVE BEEN DELETED.] GUEST PHOTOGRAPHER Each summer www.dorothyswebsite.org is pleased to be able to include the works of special guest artists on the site.
