  "textContent": "Less than a month from now, fireworks light up the sky over the Webster Recreation Center. That's the start of Webster's summer — Saturday, June 13, when the Town's Summer Celebration runs from 4 PM until after dusk, with live music, food trucks, bounce houses, and a fireworks finale after sunset. The same morning, the Joe Obbie Farmers' Market reopens at 8:30 AM in front of Old Navy at Towne Center. One Saturday, two anchors for the season.\n\nHere's what else to put on the fridge between Memorial Day and Labor Day.\n\n## The big dates\n\nWhen| What| Where\n---|---|---\nSat, June 13, 8:30 AM – 1 PM| Joe Obbie Farmers' Market opens| Towne Center, 1034 Ridge Road\nSat, June 13, 4 PM – dusk| Summer Celebration + fireworks| Webster Recreation Center, 1350 Chiyoda Drive\nWed, July 15 – Wed, Aug 26| Evenings in the Park (weekly)| Sexton Memorial Park, 750 Holt Road\nFri, July 10 – Fri, Aug 28| Friday Night Concerts (six dates)| Gazebo Memorial Park, 28 North Ave\nSat, July 25, 8:30 AM – 1 PM| \"Christmas in July\" market| Towne Center\nFri, Aug 14 – Sat, Aug 15| Webster Jazz Festival| West Main Street, Webster Village\n\n## The weekly rhythms\n\n**Saturdays — Farmers' Market.** The Joe Obbie Farmers' Market runs Saturdays from June 13 through the fall at Towne Center, 8:30 AM to 1 PM. The mid-season \"Christmas in July\" market lands Saturday, July 25, same hours, same Towne Center location.\n\n**Wednesdays — Evenings in the Park.** Now in its fifth year, the free Wednesday-night series at Sexton Memorial Park runs from July 15 through August 26 — seven Wednesdays. Expect a small farm market, a food truck, a mobile bar, and live music each week. Bring a chair.\n\n**Fridays — Concerts in the Park.** The Webster Village BID's free Friday Night Concert series runs 7 to 9 PM at the Gazebo in Memorial Park, 28 North Ave:\n\n  * July 10 — Red Hot & Blue Band\n  * July 24 — A Girl Named Genny\n  * July 31 — Carlton Wilcox with Walter Chapman & Friends\n  * August 7 — The Ayers Brothers\n  * August 21 — Red 7\n  * August 28 — The Earthtones\n\n\n\nNo concert July 17. The August 14 Friday is dark because the Jazz Festival takes that weekend.\n\n## The August weekend\n\nThe Webster Jazz Festival turns Webster Village into a street party Friday, August 14, and Saturday, August 15. Friday is \"Jazz in the Pubs\" from 6 to 10 PM. Saturday is \"Jazz in the Street\" along West Main from 4 to 10 PM. Both nights are free. The 2026 lineup hasn't been posted yet; watch websterbid.com.\n\n## Kids, camp, and the library\n\n**Summer Camp.** Webster Parks & Rec runs camp for K–5 and grades 5–8 through the summer. Registration moved up to February 2 this year, so most weeks are already spoken for. If you missed it, call Parks & Rec at 585-872-7103 about the waitlist.\n\n**Library.** The Webster Public Library's Summer Reading Challenge returns this June, alongside weekly storytimes for kids 5 and under (Stories on a Saturday Morning, no registration) and Tuesday-afternoon teen drop-ins with games, crafts, and free YA books. The specific kickoff and program dates aren't yet posted; the library's LibCal calendar at websterlibrary.libcal.com/calendar is the place to check week by week.\n\n**Spray Park.** Summer Splash, the free afternoon at the First Responders Spray Park next to the Rec Center, typically returns in July. A 2026 date hasn't been posted yet — keep an eye on the Town's Parks & Rec calendar.\n\n## Watch this space\n\nThe Town's events page lists two named summer events without firm dates yet: a \"Sunset Social\" and a \"So Long Summer.\" Flyers are up; details aren't. Parks & Rec at 585-872-7103 is the place to ask. We'll update as dates land.\n\nThat's the season. Six Friday concerts, seven Wednesday evenings at Sexton, a market every Saturday, and one fireworks night three weeks out. Print this. Stick it on the fridge.\n\n* * *\n\n_AI tools were used in drafting and research._",
