Music in the Park
Music in the Park is an annual summertime series that features live music performances in Veterans Park in downtown River Falls. The park offers a beautiful and centrally located setting for folks of all ages to gather and listen to a diverse range of live entertainment. Local businesses and individuals help fund the event by sponsoring the concert series. Music in the Park is CAB's longest running event with its 1994 beginnings predating the existence of CAB.
Music in the Park 2026 will have performances every Thursday night from May 28 through August 27, with the exception of July 9. Concerts are held from 7–9 p.m. in Veterans Park, 1 N. Main St., with the exception of the Charlie Parr show on June 11, which will be held in Heritage Park. Our rain site once again will be Tarnation Tavern (128 N Main St.), with the exception of the Charlie Parr show.
We also plan to have a winter series of concerts with more info to come as the summer ends.
