All performances take place Monday-Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. in July and August

Residents are invited to reserve performance dates available for the 2014 Somerville Sunsetters, who will begin shows on Monday, July 1. Led by Somerville Youth Arts Coordinator Jimmy Del Ponte, the Sunsetters is a traveling youth music troupe, performing popular show tunes and contemporary pop music hits on city streets throughout July and August at sunset. The group began in the 1970s, performing through the 1980s until they were reinstated by Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone in 2004. The 45-minute shows are a great way to spend an early summer evening with the kids, neighbors, family and friends.

Residents may request performances in their neighborhoods by contacting Jackie Rossetti at, 617-625-6600 ext. 2614 or JRossetti@somervillema.gov. Please note that some blackout dates apply, and performance slots fill up quickly.
