Patch - Meetinghouse Arts’ summer concert tradition returns to downtown Freeport from 2-4 p.m. on Sundays from July 5 through Aug. 30…  At the center of this evolution is a heartfelt recognition of John Albright, a tireless advocate for live music in Freeport. For years, Albright curated performances, supported emerging and established artists, and created a welcoming gathering place for audiences of all ages. His work has left an enduring imprint on the Freeport community and the town’s cultural identity.

“John doesn’t just book bands — he builds community,” said Suzanne Watson, executive director of Meetinghouse Arts. “We are deeply grateful for John’s leadership, passion and belief in the power of music to bring people together.”

The 2026 Albright Summer Music Series in Memorial Park will feature a dynamic lineup of regional talent spanning genres from folk and blues to indie rock and jazz. The free, family-friendly concerts will take place weekly at Memorial Park in downtown Freeport. This series falls under our Music in the Parks programming, which enters its fourth year this summer.
