Music in the Park

Crowd Picture

Big Lake’s Music in the Park concert series is returning in 2023 for a full season! This free concert series is held on select Thursday evenings during the months of June - August and features a wide variety of live music and local food trucks. The concerts are held at Big Lake’s scenic Lakeside Park located right off of Highway 10. Concessions and free parking start at 5 p.m. and music goes from 7-8:30 p.m. Reminder that dogs are not allowed at Lakeside Park, so please leave your furry friends at home. 

After eight years of coordination through the gracious Big Lake Legacy Foundation, Music in the Park was transitioned to a City-run program in 2021. The City of Big Lake is excited to continue Music in the Park and extends a huge Thank You to the Big Lake Legacy Foundation for creating such an impactful program for the community!
