in an intimate setting in the racetrack grandstand.  From 1997’s Lilith Fair with 30,000 music fans crowding the horse racetrack infield, through a successful run of Soundset from 2009 through 2015 in the Festival Fields that also drew 30,000, to the recently concluded Twin Cities Summer Jam and 45,000 in attendance, the Shakopee, Minn. entertainment destination has used nearly every square foot of its 450 acres at one time or another. The Canterbury Park Concert Series however is a new endeavor in a location previously used primarily for racing that will create an outdoor setting providing guests with a unique performance experience. Old Crow Medicine Show, a Grammy Award winning Americana string band, headlines the Aug. 2 show.
