Today on the Wheaton MD Facebook page I saw that there will be a free summer concert series in the Wheaton Triangle!  This sort of fun activity is exactly what Wheaton needs.  The location is a nice grassy space just across the street from the Wheaton Metro station and next to a large parking lot.
The Nighthawks kick-off the TGIF concert series this Friday, July 12 at 6:30PM. What a great way to start the weekend! Come on out and enjoy the show! http://wheatonmd.org/events/item/tgif-summer-concert-the-nighthawks
A little bit more research turned up this Patch write-up:
What: Wheaton "TGIF" Summer Concert Series
When and Where: Every second and fourth Friday, through August, from 6:30-8 p.m., in the Wheaton Triangle.
Deets: What to look forward to in July and August: jazz, reggae, Motown, and more. (Read more about who's playing when.)
This is the first I've heard of this series so I wanted to post about it here. I assume it is free but couldn't find that word written in any of these webpages. It will be outdoors in a park-like setting, so it must be free.  From the concert series schedule website:
Time: 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm
Kick-off your weekend with great music in downtown Wheaton!
Enjoy live music from top musicians in the DC area the 2nd and 4th Fridays July through August from 6:30 to 8:00 pm.
Bring a blanket, chair and your family and friends -- And don't forget to grab a bite to eat from one of our great local restaurants before or after the show! 
This year's lineup features:
July 12   The Nighthawks (Blues, Roots Rock)
July 26   Soul Crackers (Motown)
August 9   Sam 'O & JFC Band (Reggae)
August 23  School of Rock "Back to School" Teen Event
