Music & Movies in the Parks

Since 1892, the MPRB has been hosting Music In Parks to provide park users and residents with FREE entertainment in their community. The 2017 Music In The Parks series will run seven days a week from Memorial Day through Labor Day at six venues. The performance lineup includes an eclectic mix of music for all ages and styles, from gypsy jazz, orchestral, rock and folk.

6 Venue Locations

Since 1892, Music in the Parks has provided residents and families the opportunity to gather and enjoy local entertainment throughout the summer.

For more than 120 years, we've hosted free concerts in Minneapolis parks at six of our beautiful venues, including Lake Harriet Band Shell, Minnehaha Park Bandstand, Father Hennepin Bluff Park, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Bryant Square Park and Theodore Wirth Park. Every summer, local Minneapolis artists and bands put on a show every day for their residents and neighbors. Concerts vary from classic rock, gypsy jazz to concert bands, plus 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 daily among the neighborhood parks, and shows more than 60 movies with six different movie themes to choose from.
