Each Friday during the summer months‚ one bluegrass or old-time band and one clogging team are hired to perform for Pickin’ in the Park. Several hundred people come to listen‚ setting up their lawn chairs a distance from the stage. The band performs songs and tunes and provides the music for the clogging team which typically does a succession of five- to ten-minute routines. At other spots away from the stage‚ local musicians meet and play in numerous jam sessions. The park has a concession stand open during the event.
