I know that even if I wasn’t working there that’s what I’d be doing this summer!”
The concerts, every Friday at 7:30 in Waterplace Park, are not only free, but also feature fun contests and giveaways. Get pumped before the shows at the pre-concert parties 5-7 pm every Friday at Union Station Brewery, featuring appetizers, drinks, discounts, and prizes.
At the Concert Series, keep an eye out for promotions, games, and contests from Dunkin Donuts, the 95.5 WBRU BRU Crew, Narragansett, and more. The department of transportation and RIPTA will be having promotions; People’s Credit Union will be providing information and giving out free bottle openers. If you see someone dressed like a giant cup, grab a friend to take a video of you dancing behind “Cuppy” and send it to WBRU--the best dancers get prizes. Battle the BRU Crew at water pong for free tickets to Atlas Genius at The Met, or catch the Dunkin Donuts station to charge your phone and grab the BRU Crew to record a “Dunkin Donuts I am BRU” soundbite--you might hear yourself on air later!
