DANBURY, Conn. – Although there’s still snow on the ground, the board of directors at the Ives Concert Park in Danbury is looking forward to an exciting summer with the park’s new partner, New York City-based promoter The Bowery Presents. The outdoor venue has been around since 1975, and the new partnership will allow for “an even more impressive array” of musical acts, officials said.
