Downtown After Sundown: Laredo is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Spiotta Park in South Orange.

The concert is part of South Orange Downtown’s Downtown After Sundown summer music series, which brings live music to Spiotta Park on Saturday evenings from June 6 through September 5. Visitors are encouraged to bring a chair and may pick up takeout or treats from nearby downtown restaurants to enjoy during the concert.

This week’s performer is Laredo. South Orange Downtown says the group includes three Maplewood and South Orange residents who have been making music together for more than 20 years, first as part of Walk the Dog and more recently as Laredo.

The band performs originals and covers, with music connected to artists ranging from Bob Dylan and Dawes to Jim Croce and Brandi Carlile. The organizer says the band is often joined by guests from the local music scene and keeps percussion instruments on hand so young children can participate during outdoor performances.

For local readers, this is a Saturday evening outdoor concert in downtown South Orange with live music, nearby restaurants and a public park setting.
