Siloam Springs is bringing back summer events which will be held at the Chautauqua Amphitheat­er.

This year the city is not billing it as a summer concert series but rather just a summer series. This is because along with a list of musicians, there will also be performanc­es from the Siloam Springs Center for the Arts and a Hispanic Heritage Festival to be held in September, according to Communicat­ions Manager Holland Hayden.

The Summer Events Series will begin May 21 and end Sept. 24, according to a schedule of performers emailed from the city.

All of the events are free, Hayden said. The performanc­es are family-friendly and multi-generation­al and multicultu­ral events that will add to the quality of life in Siloam Springs.

“We wanted something where grandparen­ts and grand-kids and greatgrand-kids can attend at no cost,” Hayden said.

Chautauqua Amphitheat­er will also host the Siloam Springs Community Band on July 2 for the Independen­ce Day Holiday weekend, the schedule states. There will not be any events scheduled on July 4, itself, Hayden said.

Heavy Metal band Tantric, which has 5,08,702 listeners on the streaming service Spotify, will perform with Paralandra on June 10 and NWA band will perform on August 20, the schedule states.

Siloam Springs native Traci Manos will headline with the Whiskey Outlaws on July 23, the schedule states.

One of the most unique events will be the Hispanic Heritage Festival. Hayden said she is currently looking for volunteers to serve on a committee to help bring the festival to life.

The events will be posted on discoversi­loam.com as the events are built, Hayden said.
