With the onset of summer in Central Oregon comes a gang of concert series that are often free, often outdoors and often a good time.

One of those is the weekly Party on the Patio that happens every Friday outside Country Catering, at the intersection of Northeast Ninth Street and Wilson Avenue. This thing is quite the scene, especially when the sun is shining and the all-you-can-eat barbecue is flowing. (Said ‘cue is available for $10.95 with purchase of a beverage.)
