Summer Concert Series

by

The Red Willow Arts Coalition presents the Summer Concert Series on the Courthouse Lawn in Alexandria Minnesota.

 

These weekly musical concerts run from late May through August. Red Willow Arts Coalition is proud to promote and support the Arts in Central Minnesota!

The courthouse lawn concerts have become one of the areas most popular social gatherings.

Every Thursday evening, friends and families gather on the lawn to picnic and listen to live music. The concerts are free to the public and supported by sponsorships from local businesses.

A wide variety of musical styles are sure to provide an entertaining family friendly evening. Concerts begin at 7:00pm, and conclude by 8:30, with a short break for announcements and to collect free will donations.

Popcorn and water are available for sale by local youth groups.

The Douglas County Courthouse property is smoke and alcohol free. Come and enjoy a Minnesota summer evening with friends and neighbors!

Rain Policy
In case of rain or bad weather, these concerts will be re-located to the Alexandria Area High School Performing Arts Center.

Cancellations will be announced to the area radio stations by 2:00pm. We will notify KXRA and KIKV radio stations. We’ll also post on Facebook and here on our website if a concert is cancelled.

 

A large crowd sits on lawn chairs facing a historic red-brick building with a clock tower, enjoying the Summer Concert Series performance on the steps, surrounded by trees on a sunny day.
