Summer Band Concerts Under the Stars

The Summer Band Concerts Under the Stars are right around the corner. The 2026 Swedish Festival Grand Marshal, Dale Engstrom, will lead the band for his 49th year this summer. Along with some special programming in honor of the country’s 250th birthday, a retinue of world-class soloists, and a few new tunes in the songbook, we believe the 2026 Summer Band Concert Under the Stars series will be the best yet.

The dates for this year’s series are Thursdays, June 11, 18, and 25; July 2, 9 and 16. Vendors and food trucks will be set up by 5 p.m., with concert programming beginning at 8 p.m. Bring your own chairs and blankets. See you under the stars!
