Bronson Park
A different kind of music. Zion Lion is the "baddest band to hit the Kalamazoo music scene.” The members are a combination of several bands from the Kalamazoo area that crossed each other's path along the way and decided to form the right mix of reggae with African zouk, mucosa, zoukous, and some Afro-Latin influences. These musicians have played in small clubs to large cultural festivals including the Kalamazoo Island Festival, Kalamazoo Black Arts Festival, Grand Rapids Caribbean Festival, Muskegon Summer Festival, Louisville Reggae Festival, and Rock Island Caribbean Festival, to name a few. You can't help but get up and dance and have an "IRIE FEELIN' " whenever you hear Zion Lion.

Concerts in the Park is a program of the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, with support from the Irving S. Gilmore Foundation and the City of Kalamazoo. It is one of Kalamazoo’s long-standing traditions, typically offered on Sunday afternoons in June, July, and August in Bronson Park, delivering a unique offering, unlike any other. Each concert is free and is friendly for the entire family. Bring chairs or blankets for your comfort!
There is not a rain site for Concerts in the Park. If inclement weather is expected the concert may be canceled by 2 pm on that same day.
On-street parking is available all around the perimeter of the park.
Additional parking is nearby at the South Street Parking Garage.
Children's Nature Playscape is a nonprofit organization that stewards a nature-inspired play area in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. We are a team of educators, counselors, scientists, and parents who believe that every child should have the freedom and tools necessary to explore the world and relationships that surround them, and that in doing so they will discover that people from all walks of life, including them, belong in our world, natural or otherwise.
We are thrilled that the Playscape will be open on our concert nights 30 minutes prior, during, and 30 minutes after all Concerts in the Park this year!
