  • Music in the Park

    Music by the Lake has always been one of my favorite Samford events, proudly organized by the Samford Rotary Club and every year was bigger and better. For the passed few years the event has changed shape and location and is now Music in the Park. Hosted in John Scott Park and supported by the Moreton Bay Regional Council, this years event seems to be another winner, with the local Samford community. Manjo Jam Big Band will be headlining this years entertainment.. So bring your chair, arrive early and enjoy. Music in the park is on Sunday the 19th June from 1-3pm.
