See all the fun free summer concerts on Cape this year

The Barnstable Town Band is an independent, town-sponsored, non-profit organization founded in 1953. It has found a permanent home on the Hyannis Town Green in a well-designed band shell donated by the Hyannis Rotary Club. Musicians of all ages perform under the expert and dynamic leadership of conductor Patrick Riley. Each week brings a different concert with a mix of Latin, Swing, Classical, Broadway, and Patriotic tunes. No rain dates

The must have picnic blanket for your Cape trip 


The band today is directed by Patrick Riley, a former music instructor in the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District who is now the Principal of the Truro Central School District. “Pat” oversees a wide range of band members from High School age to Cape residents in their later senior years, amateurs and professionals alike. Some of those senior members may not have played their instruments in almost 40 years since graduating from school! But utilizing that broad range of backgrounds and talents from all over the Cape, Pat is able to bring everyone together to perform an assortment of Patriotic tunes, Marches, Showtunes, Swing, Latin, and other popular concert pieces. That is one of the really great things about the band…..anyone who plays an instrument can join and be provided an opportunity to perform and provide enjoyment to an audience. It’s almost like having our own local “Boston Pops” in our backyard!


And speaking about audiences, everyone, both residents and visitors/tourists, are invited to attend FREE weekly Wednesday evening band concerts at 7pm during July and August. The Concerts on the Green series provides an opportunity for you to pull up a lawn chair or blanket on the Hyannis Village Green, along with a picnic or just some snacks, and enjoy an evening of music in the old Americana style of an outdoor Bandstand Concert. The first concert of the season will be on July 3, and will contain a good number of Patriotic pieces, given the date’s proximity to the July 4th holiday. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you there!
