Every Tuesday evening throughout the summer, the Opelika Parks and Recreation Department hosts a free outdoor concert at 7 p.m. at Municipal Park. This 15-week concert series offers a wide variety of musical entertainment including Gospel, Jazz, R & B, Praise and Worship, Oldies, Country, Big Band Swing, Folk and Community Band music. The Opelika Band Boosters prepare hamburgers and hotdogs in the park for a nominal fee from 6:15-7:30 p.m. Charter Bank of Opelika provides complimentary lemonade during the concerts and Kona Ice has shaved ice for sale at each concert. The Rocky Brook Rocket, a vintage train with a long, rich history, has been restored and is back on the tracks for complimentary train rides. Come out early! Bring the whole family, a quilt or lawn chair and relax on the bank of Rocky Brook Creek for an evening of musical fun, fellowship and relaxation.
