History of this Event: The Ivory Perry Park Concert Series was born out of a desire to showcase talented St. Louis musicians, to bring life back to an urban park, and to involve the community in the process. In 2003, three nearby church (Union Avenue Christian Church, Pilgrim Congregational Church – United Church of Christ, and Westminster Presbyterian Church) teamed up with newly elected alderman Frank Williamson to begin working on the first Ivory Perry Park Concert Series. Other community organizations such as SPUD (the Skinker, Page, Union, Delmar Association), neighborhood stabilization officers, the Union Avenue Association, and many local businesses quickly came on board with their support. Four local schools – Clark Accelerated Academy, Mitchell Elementary School, The New City School, and Soldan International Studies High School – also have supported the development of the Series.
