Mark your calendar for a midday jolt of fun that will turn any ordinary Wednesday into your highlight of the week. Step into Kellogg Park, right in the beating heart of downtown Plymouth, on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm (EDT) for the final show of the 41st Wilcox Wednesdays Music In The Park concert series. The last show always draws a happy crowd, and this year, The Funny Dumplings are closing out the season with laughter, music, and silly excitement for all ages.
Why Wednesdays Are Anything but Ordinary in Kellogg Park
You know those lazy lunch hours when you’re wondering what to do? Picture this instead: music floating on the breeze, children giggling across bright lawns, parents tapping their feet, and everyone armed with picnic snacks, dancing shoes, and the urge to grin. Wilcox Wednesdays serve up exactly this magic, week after week, every summer. This season, it’s been ten concerts of musical adventure, all pulled together by the energetic spirit of the Plymouth Community Arts Council.
Here’s the gist: it’s free, fabulous, and made for everybody. Imagine yourself on a blanket with your lunch, soaking up tunes, chuckles, and that laid-back Plymouth groove.
Who are The Funny Dumplings? Only the Most Flavorful Act Around!
When you hear that name, you know it’s going to be a blast. The Funny Dumplings are wildly talented and playfully interactive. Expect zany songs that invite you to clap along, irresistible rhythms, and good-natured silliness that will have both kids and grown-ups joining the party. Their energy has a way of bringing strangers together; by the end, you’ll be laughing with folks you just met.
For those who haven’t caught their act, think silly lyrics that burrow into your memory, a mix of upbeat tunes, and performers who know just how to spark joy on even the cloudiest day. Whether you’re a kid, kid-at-heart, teacher, parent, or grandparent, The Funny Dumplings dish out a show that’s easy to love, hard to forget, and impossible to sit still for.
