Perry Lutheran Homes Hosts Free Summer Concert Series

Events

Perry Lutheran Homes is bringing music, joy, and community connection to Perry this summer with its Live Music Concert Series. This exciting four-concert lineup aims to bring community, family, and seniors together at free, family-friendly events open to the public and held on the Eden Acres Campus at 1300 28th Street, Perry.

“Creating meaningful opportunities for our community, families, and staff to engage with seniors is at the heart of this concert series,” said Tonya Swank, Independent & Assisted Living Director. “Older adults in senior living communities have rich stories, wisdom, and joy to share—and events like these help bridge generations and bring people together in a truly special way.”
