'Village Nites on the Green' Approved, Gazebo Concerts Coming Soon

The Village Board approved 'Village Nites on the Green' and Greendale Open Market Entertainment on Tuesday night.

The Village Board approved Village Nights on the Green and the Greendale Open Market Entertainment.

For 15 years the Park and Recreation Department has held Village Nites on the Green program. This free summer outdoor entertainment series will run from June 19 through August 28 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Sundays at the Gazebo.

Village manager Todd Michaels said, “Past years concerts have been successful in providing quality family entertainment in the Village Center and compliment the other free concert series “Saturday Night Fun on the Green” sponsored by the Greendale Entertainment Association on Saturday evenings.”

In the past there have been some noise concerns from neighbors.

“The Park & Rec Department is well aware of neighbor concerns relating to sound volumes and will abide by the Gazebo’s Rules & Guidelines and utilize minimal amplification,” said Michaels in a report.

The Department of Public Works will place barricades to block the use of the sidewalk area in front of the Gazebo by bicyclists, skateboarders, etc. during the shows.

“Conducting the free summer concerts is a part of the small town charm that is Greendale,” Michaels said. “Conducting such events inevitably impacts the neighbors but this impact must be weighed against the benefit of the concerts to the community as a whole.”
