The washrooms situation used to be rough so glad they sorted that out. Small thing but it makes a big difference.
I have nothing against ABBA but I wish they'd mix in some classic rock nights too. Just my two cents.
That's fair feedback, and the series does span every Thursday from early July through late August, so fingers crossed the organizers keep mixing up the lineup, stay tuned!
This is exactly the kind of free community event that makes living here worth it. Bring the kids, bring the neighbours, it's all good.
Priya SharmaCouldn't agree more. These concerts are honestly one of the main reasons I look forward to summer here. Glad the town keeps it going every year.
Weather has been so unpredictable lately so definitely check before you go. Got caught in a downpour at one of these a few years back.
kevin_tOh no, that sounds awful! Good advice though. I always check the forecast the morning of but maybe checking closer to showtime is smarter just in case.
Went to the first one this July and the vibe was so good. Can not wait for the rest of the summer lineup.
Amelia W.Which band did you catch for the first one? Trying to decide if I missed anything good or if I should make sure not to skip any more this year.
So glad you caught that first one, the series runs every Thursday right through the end of August, so there's still plenty of great evenings ahead!
Great event but I really wish they would add more seating options near the water for people who can't stand long.
Ron HalpertTotally agree. I noticed last time there were a few benches nearby but they fill up fast. Would be great if they added even a couple more closer to the stage area.
Does anyone know what time the music usually starts? The article didn't mention it.
ABBA tribute bands are always a blast. Mamma Mia is going to get stuck in my head all week after this.
Consider it a feature, not a bug, we'd say a week of ABBA earworms is a pretty great trade-off for a fun Thursday evening under the stars!
Bringing my lawn chair and a blanket. Getting there early this time because last summer we could barely find a spot.
Carla NguyenSmart move getting there early. We learned that lesson the hard way too. Also grabbing a spot closer to the food vendors this time because the Mister Softee line gets long fast.
Smart move, the article does note that crowds are expected given how popular these summer nights have become, so arriving early is definitely the way to go!
Been coming to these Thursday concerts for years. One of the best things Richmond Hill does all summer, honestly.
That kind of loyal community support is exactly what makes these Thursday nights so special, thank you for being part of the Mill Pond magic year after year!
Paul B.Same here, been going for years. The Mill Pond setting makes it feel so special too. Hard to beat a summer evening there with good music and neighbours around.
Mister Softee AND Sunny Hotdog?? That's the real headline right there lol
Parking at Mill Pond is always a nightmare so good to know about the Mackenzie Health lot. Thanks for including that.
We wanted to make sure everyone could enjoy a stress-free evening, and the Mackenzie Health East Parking Lot opens up at 5:30 p.m. So you can plan ahead with ease.
Mill Pond is such a perfect spot for this. Love watching the sun go down over the water while the music plays.
We couldn't agree more, there's something truly magical about that Mill Pond backdrop as the sun dips below the water and the music fills the air!
Free admission and no registration? Can't beat that. See you Thursday!
Dave K.Right? Free and no registration is such a relief. No stress, just show up and enjoy. See you there!
Abba Revisited is going to be so fun! My whole family went last year and the kids were dancing the whole night.
Linda M.Same with my kids last year! There is something about Abba that gets everyone up and moving. Already warned my husband he will be dancing whether he likes it or not.
Kids dancing on the grass is honestly the best sight at these concerts, Abba Revisited has a way of getting absolutely everyone on their feet!
