BUFFALO — The 19th annual “Picnic in the Parkway Summer Concert Series” starts tonight in Bidwell Parkway between Elmwood and Potomac avenues with a performance from The Bobby Militello Quartet.

The weekly concerts run from 7 – 9 p.m. each Tuesday through Aug. 9 showcasing “talented musicians from the Buffalo area in a family-friendly environment,” according to the Elmwood Village Association website.

All shows are free to the public; donations and beverage sales benefit the Elmwood Village Association.
