With the support of our sponsors, Fox Communities Credit Union, Neuroscience Group, CommunityFoundation for the Fox Valley Region, and Tundraland, this is a free event and we hope it makes it possible for everyone to attend, enjoy the music, and even see fireworks at the end of the night. We’re also proud to bring the MacDowell Male Chorus and Fox Valleyaires to the concert this year; the more music the better!”

There will also be a donation drive for musical instruments at two events at the ballpark. Donate a new or used instrument OR money to go towards the purchase of an instrument to give all children the opportunity to play a musical instrument!
