Party in the Park will make its return this Friday when the Thompson-based band Monolith headlines the evening event.

The party starts at 7:30PM at MacLean Park after a very successful event last year. This will only be the second edition of Party in the Park.

Event coordinator of the city Darlene Dick says the once in a year Party in the Park was the public's idea and it attracts almost four times the normal audience for the evening event.

Throughout the year, the usual Concerts in the Park show would bring in local acts to perform, which is a good way to expose regional artists, says Dick.

Monolith is a local four piece band with Mike and Mario Penton on Guitar and vocals, Keith Medwid on Bass and Vocals and Gord Medwid on Drums and Vocals.

If there is rain, the event will be pushed to the GB Arena at the TRCC.
