Update (6/6/2023):  Updated information for June 14th concert.

Summer means a lot of things, and one long-running Great Falls tradition is set to make its appearance next month.

The Great Falls Municipal Band will kick off their free concerts starting June 14th at the Gibson Park Bandshell.  All concerts begin at 7pm, weather permitting.

This is the 130th consecutive season the Municipal Band has put on these free summer concerts.  COVID didn't stop them, making this one of the longest continuously-running municipal bands in the country.
