FAQ

Q.  What happens if it rains?

A.  The concert is moved inside the Truro Public Library if it rains.  Check our Facebook page for updates.  If you've never attended a rock concert surrounded by books, you've missed something special.

Q.  What's new for 2026?

A.  Food truck!  We've invited a food truck, so no more mad dash to get food to bring to the concert.  We've also adjusted our advertised start time to 6:00 PM.

Q.  What are these Showcase acts all about?

A.  Showcase acts give young or emerging local artists some exposure and experience.  They generally perform one number at 6:15 PM prior to the headline act at 6:30 PM.  We started this for the 2024 season and expanded it in 2025.  When we don't have a musical act, we sometimes provide an opportunity for local non-profits to make a pitch.

Q.   How can I support free Truro Summer Concerts at the Truro Public Library?

A.  Attend a concert and make a cash or check contribution,  or click here to print a donation form and mail with a check.  Thanks!

We are supported by your donations, local businesses and grants.  We are self-funded; we do not get financial contributions from the town, but they provide valuable support services such as accounting that help make our life easier and keep our costs down.

Q.  Do you have a Facebook page?

Q.  Is this the same free concert series that was previously held on the Village Green in Truro Center?
