SHELTON — Celebrate Shelton creators Nicole Mikula, Michael Skrtic and Jimmy Tickey announced a one night VIRTUAL Downtown Sounds Summer Concert on Friday, July 17 at 5 p.m. The evening will kick-off with Kids Hour with Danny Magic, followed by live music from The Alpaca Gnomes, and other performers to be announced shortly.
Since 2014, Mikula, Skrtic and Tickey have hosted a three-week summer concert series, but last month announced due to CDC and State of Connecticut guidelines, the in-person concerts would not go forward this year.

This virtual event is made possible by Liberty Bank, MKDEVO Productions and Center Stage Theatre.
