Since 1892, Music in the Parks has provided residents and families opportunities to gather and enjoy local entertainment throughout the summer. The program has hosted thousands of free concerts at beautiful park venues, including the Lake Harriet Bandshell, Minnehaha Bandstand, Father Hennepin Bluff Park, Nicollet Island Park, Bryant Square Park, Water Works and The Commons. Every summer, local Minneapolis artists and bands put on a show every day for their fellow residents and neighbors. Concerts vary from classic rock, jazz, hip hop, folk, classical, concert bands, and many more genres of music to please all ears.

The Movies in the Parks series was created in 2007 to provide safe, fun and free entertainment to residents and park users. The movie series rotates among neighborhood parks throughout the summer, showing everything from family-friendly classics to blockbuster new releases.
