HISTORY OF OUR ORGANIZATION Since its inception in 1987, Concerts on the Cove, a nonprofit organization guided by a volunteer board of directors, has had a mission: To enrich the life of our community by presenting a wide variety of the finest performing arts. To find the means to make performing events affordable and accessible to all members of our community. To provide for the enhancement of local performing arts facilities. During the summer concerts on the Pavilion stage in Coupeville Town Park, families and friends gather for a Norman Rockwell experience. People of all ages enjoy many forms of music and dance performed by artists from all over the world in a comfortable atmosphere. Adults can relax and their children are free to be children -- to play in the park while being exposed to the arts. Few opportunities offer so much to the health and healing of our modern day families and communities. In 1992, Concerts on the Cove donated the Pavilion (in Town Park) to the Town of Coupeville and in 1999 retired the building debt. Every July and August, concerts are presented at 2:00p.m Sunday afternoons at the Pavilion in Town Park. We invite you to join Concerts on the Cove attending concerts - or by becoming a member of the organization - and to work with us in our effort to further enhance the quality of life in our community.
