The summer concert series is being presented by the Keyport Recreation Commission and Bayshore Gospel Center in conjunction with the Keyport Business Alliance, which is helping to promote the concerts along with other special events the KBA will host in Keyport this year. The events are part of the Keyport Business Alliance’s continuing efforts to foster economic development and revitalization in the Borough.

“The setting, with the harbor in the background, is perfect,” said KBA Business Advocate Kathaleen Shaw. “The free Sunday evening concerts are a great way to end the weekend. We hope people will come out early, take a stroll and maybe get something to eat or drink before or after the shows,” she said.
