Summer Waterfront Concerts Bring Music to the River

Thursday evenings in Clayton just got a whole lot more melodious with the return of the 2025 Summer Waterfront Concert Series at Frink Park. Every Thursday from 6 to 8 PM, this beloved weekly tradition transforms the scenic riverfront into an open-air concert venue where live music meets stunning St. Lawrence River views.

There's something magical about listening to live music with the gentle lapping of waves as your soundtrack and the historic Thousand Islands Bridge creating a picture-perfect backdrop. The concert series has become a cornerstone of Clayton's summer social scene, drawing both locals and visitors who know that Thursday evenings mean good music, great company, and unbeatable river views.

Frink Park provides the ideal setting for these musical gatherings, with its expansive lawn offering plenty of space for families to spread out blankets, couples to enjoy romantic evenings, and friends to gather for impromptu picnics. The park's location right on the water means you can watch boats cruise by while talented musicians take the stage, creating a uniquely 1000 Islands experience that captures the essence of summer living.

The beauty of this concert series lies not just in the music, but in the community it creates. Week after week, you'll see familiar faces alongside newcomers, all united by the shared experience of great music in an incredible setting. Local food vendors often set up nearby, making it easy to grab dinner before the show, and the relaxed atmosphere encourages mingling and making new connections.

Whether you're a music lover, a sunset chaser, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, these Thursday evening concerts offer the perfect way to unwind and soak up the summer magic that makes the 1000 Islands so special. Bring a chair, bring a friend, and prepare to fall in love with Thursday nights all over again.
