Music In the Park
For a quarter of a century, Music In The Park has featured popular bands playing at Wicks Park Gazebo. Every Wednesday night from 7 to 9 p.m., crowds gather for a free night of live music ranging from reggae, classic rock, 80’s pop, and beyond — all in a gorgeous spot along the Kalamazoo River.

Eclectic all ages shows every Thursday evening across from City Hall range from soul to Celtic to New Orleans brass. Beverages are available from nearby establishments such as El Jaripeo, Root Cafe, and Salt of the Earth.
Saugatuck Center For The Arts
