With the addition of four more show announcements this week, the Marvin Sands-Constellation Brands Performing Arts Center says its summer season is complete.
The latest additions are jazz crooner Harry Connick Jr. and His Band on Aug. 12; Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd on Aug. 19; country band Little Big Town on Aug. 20; and prog-rock icons King Crimson on Aug. 26.
The 15-date season (Luke Combs plays two nights) opens with the traditional “Red, White and Boom” concert, featuring the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and a fireworks show, on July 3.
It will be followed by the “Welcome Back to CMAC Community Concert” at 5:30 p.m. July 10. First responders will be honored with free admission by showing their ID. All ticket proceeds will be matched by CMAC and will benefit the Thompson Health Foundation and the Canandaigua Emergency Squad. Admission is $20, which also gets ticket holders their first drink; tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
Proof of vaccination is no longer required for entry into the outdoor venue, which is just outside of Canandaigua. Unvaccinated individuals, include children 12 and under, must wear a mask; vaccinated concertgoers do not need to wear a mask.
The last show to go on sale, at 10 a.m. Friday, is Darius Rucker.
Tickets and updated coronavirus pandemic guidelines are available at cmacevents.com.
