If you’re a music lover, you can enjoy tunes down by the water in Algoma during their Concert in the Park series as they kick off the season. Now in its 23rd year, the event celebrates both the laid-back ways of summer and the community with an array of music and fun at the park.

“Being in the 23rd year is a good testament to the support this community offers to this particular event and it really shows off how much they enjoy concerts in the park,” said Algoma Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bradley Kautenburg, “it’s really one of those events that help bring people together by the lake to kind of appreciate that Algoma has such a lovely location and friendly audience; people who live here are super friendly and very warm.”
 

Free concerts will take place on Thursdays from 6p.m.-9.p.m. now through August 7th. Attendees can bring a chair and listen in at Heritage Park, which features a natural sloping amphitheater that overlooks Lake Michigan and the Algoma City Marina. Scheduled bands play a variety of music from classic rock to county and pop. A full lineup can be viewed here.

“It doesn’t get much more Northeastern Wisconsin than sitting by the lake listening to music and drinking a beer or cider,” Kautenburg added.

Food concessions and beverages will be available for purchase from local non-profit groups, but carry-ins are also welcome. The concerts will also play rain or shine - in the event of inclement weather, concerts will be held at Olson Fabrication at 1101 Perry Street in Algoma.
