Music in the Parks
Grab your lawn chair, blanket, picnic basket and cooler and come join us on Wednesday evenings for some great musical entertainment in the parks! All performances are family friendly. Local Anoka and metro area musicians take the stage to entertain you and share their love of music. Many different genre’s of music are represented throughout both concert series so there is sure to be something for everyone! Concerts are free. Concerts will be cancelled if there is inclement weather. Be sure to follow the City of Anoka facebook page for the most recent concert information and reminders.
Rockin’ on the Rum
Wednesday evenings during June, July, and August. Concerts begin at 6:00 p.m. and last 2-hours. These concerts feature a variety of family-friendly music by popular metro area and regional performers. Some concert dates will include food trucks or concessions.
