Horicon Bank Ripon Summer Concert Series Update:
We are thrilled to announce that the Horicon Bank Ripon Summer Concert Series will return in 2026 for another unforgettable season of live music in the heart of historic downtown Ripon, Wisconsin! Every Friday evening, the Village Green will come alive with a mix of musical styles—creating the perfect setting for family and friends to enjoy our magical summer nights.
Planning is already underway, and the lineup will once again feature some of the area’s most popular bands, with crowd favorites Cherry Pie, Star Six Nine, and Road Trip already committing. The series will also feature a variety of new acts that will surely impress our followers. Be sure to LIKE, FOLLOW, and SHARE this page for the latest updates, including new band announcements and event details.
The FREE concerts, presented by Horicon Bank and organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc., take place Friday evenings from 7:00–10:00 p. at the Village Green (corner of Watson and Seward Streets). Each year, the park continues to improve thanks to community support, and donations play an essential role in the ongoing beautification and enhancement of the Village Green. We can’t wait to share what we are working on!
So mark your calendars and plan to join us for another summer filled with great music, community spirit, and small-town charm—all in one of “America’s Coolest Small Towns,” as named by Budget Travel Magazine.
