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.

Come hear the Marquette City Band at NMU on the Northern Center Lawn.  Please bring lawn chairs and/or blankets as desired.  The rain location is at NMU Reynolds Recital Hall.  Free admission (donations appreciated).

From ‘Thunderstruck’ to ‘Free Bird’ — an unforgettable night of strings and light. “Rock and roll meets classical music in a gorgeously crafted hour of music.”

Step into a world lit by over 1,000 flickering candles — where legendary rock anthems are reimagined by one violin, played with the intensity of a full band. This is not just a tribute show. This is Blue Violin — a genre-defying, conservatory-trained virtuoso who has lit up stages from Carnegie Hall to Singapore, and now brings his world tour to Australia, Europe, Asia, and across the U.S.

In this electrifying solo candlelight concert, Blue Violin transforms classic rock into cinematic soundscapes using live looping, searing violin solos, and explosive arrangements. The result: a visceral, immersive performance that shatters expectations and stirs the soul.

Critics call him “the best rock and roll violinist of a generation” and “electrifying” — and audiences from sold out shows around the globe agree. With a sound as bold as the flames surrounding him, Blue Violin invites you to experience a night where rock meets ritual, and violin meets firelight.
