MUSIC IN THE PARK

Discover your new favorite band at Grinnell’s Music in the Park! Launched in 2002, this series continues to champion local and regional artists across all genres. Join us at the Central Park stage every Thursday evening (late May–July) to celebrate the season with rhythm, soul, and community.

You’ll find a relaxed, picnic vibe in Grinnell’s beautiful Central Park as kids frolics in the splash pad, bicyclists pass through, and everyone from tots to seniors enjoys the music! Regular performers include Grinnell's own Turlach Ur Pipe Band and the Grinnell Community Band, as well as regional favorites like Barefoot Becky and the Ivanhoe Dutchmen and many more central Iowa performers. 

Always free, always family friendly!

If you are a performer and would like to be considered for the coming year, or your business would be interested in sponsoring one or more evenings of the concert series, please contact us.
