free concerts and movies

Free concerts, movies return to Old Town in June

Five top regional acts have been scheduled for the “Sounds of Lewisville” Summer Concert Series, presented for the 19th consecutive year by the City of Lewisville and blended this year with the Reel Lewisville movie series.

The free concerts will be held on Tuesday nights, from June 3 through June 30, starting at 7 p.m. the final two dates are Reel Lewisville movie nights, with a free movie starting at 9:30 p.m. after the concert. Concerts and movies are presented in Old Town Lewisville, adjacent to Lewisville City Hall. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or lawn chairs.

In addition to the concerts and movies, local animal rescue and welfare groups will be on hand each week to accept donations of pet-related supplies such as pet food and treats, shampoo, litter, cleaning supplies, gently used toys or blankets, and unused animal medication. This outreach effort is an extension of the highly popular Tailwaggers Ranch featured at many Lewisville street festivals. Groups at the events will be Texas Italian Greyhound Rescue (June 2), Great Dane Rescue of North Texas (June 9), DFW Collie Rescue (June 16), Hickory Creek Animal Services (June 23) and Highland Village Animal Care Unit (June 30).

“Sounds of Lewisville” and Reel Lewisville are coordinated by the City of Lewisville Community Relations & Tourism Department with assistance from the Parks and Leisure Services Department.
