It is the perfect pairing of support for our community - and earning back your value through support of our arts. See what is showing and enroll now.
CONCERTS IN THE PARK
The “Gilbert Entertains You” Spring Concerts in the Park series will begin in March and will continue with one concert each month through June. Each concert will highlight local talent from Gilbert by featuring performers who live or grew up in the town. The concerts are free and are held at the beautiful Freestone Park Amphitheater, located by the lake in Freestone Park. Next show is April 21, featuring Gilbert's own PWK.
Gilbert to Offer Extended Hours
Gilbert will offer new extended hours beginning July 11, 2011, in an effort to allow residents and customers to stop by before and after regular work hours, and to cut Town costs while providing a positive impact to the environment. The new hours for services including Utilities and Development Services will be 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday- Thursday. Emergency services will still be available, and community centers and the municipal court will remain open on Fridays. Look for more information in future editions and at www.gilbertaz.gov.
