Feel Good Fridays Concert Series collaboration with Van Wert Live

Join the Chamber in partnership with Van Wert Live to present DMTB, a celebration of the music of the Dave Matthews Band. DMTB is a time machine to a funky tea party in the 1990s, a boisterous time of tape trading, sing-alongs, and exploration into a new sonic landscape spearheaded by complex guitar riffs, soaring violin melodies, smooth sax lines, and explorative-explosive drumming. Head down to Fountain Park in downtown Van Wert on Friday July 25, with the music beginning at 7:30 p.m. Enjoy a beer or seltzer offered by the Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce, and food offered by the Van Wert High School band parents.
