Mostly Music in the Park, the free series of concerts stretching into August, continues this week with children's music by Lois LaFond & the Rockadiles on Thursday.

Appearing on Sunday is Jude Bowerman, rhythm and blues and the blues.

This year, more food service has been added for concert-goers. New is the Snack Shack, which sells gourmet hot dogs, pizza, pop, water and other snacks. Ice cream will continue to be sold.

The concerts start at 7 p.m. in Mercerdale Park. The shows will go on in a light drizzle, but not in a downpour.

Mostly Music is fully funded by private sponsors such as KeyBank and several other Mercer Island businesses. Oh Chocolate! supplies sweets, Starbucks sends coffee and concert-goers are encouraged to bring picnics.
