Summer is here and the historic Mt. Morris Campus will again be coming alive with free concerts on Wednesday and Friday nights.

The 14th season of the annual Mt. Morris Jamboree free concert series will have 12 Fridays and a few Saturdays scheduled, with a variety of bands performing for listeners.

All concerts are from 7 to 9 p.m. on the band shell, except on the Fourth of July. Local charitable organizations will again be serving food concessions every Friday night starting at 5 p.m.

Just 4 Fun Ice Cream will provide sweet treats and the Mt. Morris Senior and Community Center popcorn girls, Emmie and Lily, will serve fresh popcorn on most nights, too. Ewe and Me Acres will continue to host an ever-expanding Farmers Market featuring locally grown produce, delicious baked goods, crafts, live plants and more from 4-8 p.m. every Friday on the campus right next to the official Illinois State Freedom Bell.
