Children 6 months to 6 years old will get a chance to enjoy a concert just for them at Veterans Bicentennial Park, located on Beach Avenue between Engleside Avenue and Amber Street in Beach Haven, on Monday, July 28. Performed by Makin’ Music Rockin’ Rhythms of Media, Pa., the concert begins at 7 p.m. and will last about an hour.

The free event is part of the 39th annual Concerts on the Green, presented by the Beach Haven Community Arts Program – a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and presenting events and arts programs for the benefit of local residents and visitors.

“We thought we’d like to do something special for just the really young kids,” said Brenda Griffin, vice president of Beach Haven CAP. “It’s really very interactive. They’ll do ‘Wheels On the Bus’ and have the kids clapping. They usually give them a little shaker instrument or something to participate with. It’s just a lot of fun for the kids,” she added.

The band started performing children’s music during the concert series about four years ago, “and it was a hit from the get-go,” Griffin said.

“It’s short, sweet and a lot of fun. Parents love it,” she added.
