Free live music, family fun and summertime vibes return to Wiley Park as the Levitt AMP Galva Music Series kicks off its seventh season.
Hosted by the Galva Arts Council, this free Sunday evening concert series is back with 10 shows planned for a summer filled with rhythm, community, and connection.
Held at Wiley Park (311 NW 4th Ave., Galva), the free concerts run from 6 p.m. to approximately 8:30 p.m. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, blankets, friends and family to enjoy a picnic-style concert experience in a relaxed, welcoming setting. Admission is always free.
Food and drinks will be available for purchase from local vendors, and guests are also welcome to bring their own. Well-behaved pets are welcome to join in on the fun. For those with mobility challenges, a shuttle service is available, and street parking can be found around Wiley Park (to keep everyone safe, please do not park within the park grounds).
In case of inclement weather, concerts will be streamed live on the Levitt AMP Galva Music Series Facebook and YouTube pages.
“We’re excited to continue the tradition of bringing free, high-quality live music to Galva,” said John Taylor, organizer of the series. “It’s more than just concerts — it’s a community celebration, and everyone is welcome.”
The Levitt AMP Galva Music Series is supported in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, which partners with changemakers and nonprofits across the country to activate underused outdoor spaces through the power of free, live music—bringing people together, fostering belonging, and invigorating community life. Presenting high-caliber talent and a broad array of music genres and cultural programming, Levitt concerts are welcoming and inclusivedestinations where people of all ages and backgrounds come together.
