We can’t wait for summer! This cold, rainy weather has us dreaming of sunny evenings filled with good music, great company, and lake breezes at the Montague-Whitehall Rotary Bandshell. Luckily, the Arts Council of White Lake – Nuveen Center has announced the return of its beloved Free Summer Concert Series, and it’s shaping up to be another fantastic season.
The 2025 concert series kicks off on Tuesday, June 10, and runs weekly through August 12, with each performance starting at 7:00 p.m. These family-friendly concerts are free to the public and take place at the Montague-Whitehall Rotary Bandshell, located along scenic White Lake.
This year, if the weather doesn’t cooperate, most rain location concerts will move indoors to the Montague High School Fine Arts Center. However, on June 17 and July 1, rain plans will shift to the Whitehall High School Auditorium, ensuring music lovers don’t miss a beat.
