The Moon Tunes 2026 schedule is officially set, bringing another summer of live music to Riverside Park in downtown La Crosse. Once again, the free concert series will transform Thursday nights along the riverfront into one of the city’s favorite summer traditions.
Now entering its 15th season, Moon Tunes continues to draw families, music fans and visitors from across the Coulee Region. This year’s lineup features a mix of local favorites, tribute bands and regional performers covering everything from classic rock and blues to funk, country and Americana.
Organized by Valley View Rotary, the weekly concert series runs Thursday evenings from June 4 through Aug. 27 at the Riverside Park bandshell. Music begins at 5:30 p.m., while featured headliners typically take the stage later in the evening.
In recent years, Moon Tunes has become one of the most recognizable summer events in La Crosse. As a result, thousands gather throughout the season to enjoy live music, food, river views and a relaxed community atmosphere in the heart of downtown.
Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets and refreshments. Meanwhile, food vendors and beverages will also be available on-site during many performances.
