If it's Friday, it must be time for
jazz.
Once again this year, the
Canton Downtown Development
Authority, in cooperation with
Canton Leisure Services and the
Canton Chamber of Commerce,
will present the seventh Canton
Color Tour Summer Jazz Series
from 7-9 p.m. every Friday from
July 6 throughAug. 24.
These free concerts take place
in the parking lots of various shop-
ping centers located in the color
blocks on Ford Road in Canton.
To find the locations, just look for
the colored banners on the deco-
rative street lamps on Canton's
Ford Road. The banners are
color coded by blocks and num-
bered.
“Over 500 people come out
each Friday of the series to enjoy
great live music. Since the Canton
Live! Stage moves each week to a
new location, the concerts help
introduce concert-goers to the
wide variety of shopping and
restaurants located along Canton's
Ford Road,” said Kathleen Salla,
Canton Downtown Development
coordinator.
Each week, a commemorative
gift is offered to the first 25 people
who turn in receipts for a mini-
mum of $25 from a Canton mer-
chant. Shop Canton bags contain-
ing coupons and special offers at
the ShopCantonGazebo are given
away eachweek at the concert.
“The Canton Color Tour
Summer Jazz Series is the perfect
end to a work week. Bring a com-
fortable chair and a carry-out
meal and enjoy two hours of
unbeatable relaxing entertain-
ment”, said Mark Waldbauer, vice
chairperson, Canton Downtown
Development Authority.
“We have assembled eight indi-
vidual concerts each containing
high caliber talent and each with
an individual flair within the jazz
idiom. People will not want to
miss a single event this year,”
Waldbauer said.
