It's time for that summertime staple, summer concerts with the Escanaba City Band! A part of the community for over 100 years, the City Band is proud to carry on this unique tradition.
Concerts will be held on Wednesday evenings beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Karas Band Shell in Ludington Park. In case of rain, the event will be postponed until the next evening at the same time. Announcements will be made on our Facebook page.

The Cloverland Band hails from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a landscape that’s been cutover and cultivated, regrown and regenerated. Cloverland charts a distinctive musical topography by blending driving bluegrass, old-time melodies, soulful harmonies, classic country, and the timeless energy of rock. Combining their own original compositions with traditional American music, Cloverland’s sound pays homage to the past while growing something fresh, vibrant, and uniquely theirs.
