2025 MUSIC FROM THE MARSH SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

The schedule is here! I recommend you bring a lawn chair (and in case of a hot, muggy evening, skeeter repellant, just in case). In the event of rain, we move the concert indoors to the Visitor Center auditorium, which is right next to the Outdoor Stage. Hope to see you there.

“Because I’m still in love with you/ On this Harvest Moon”
Download some Neil Young and enjoy the Harvest Moon!
The moon will be most enjoyable as it is rising and is very beautiful to watch on the water!

This week's Music from the Marsh concert will feature the band Sonas, a traditional Celtic music group featuring hammered dulcimer, fiddle, and guitar. They are one of our popular returnees, plus this is our last concert of the summer, so we hope to see you there.

The one-hour event starts tomorrow, Saturday, at 7PM, at the Visitor Center stage in Bay City State Park. Event admission is free but your vehicle needs a state park Recreation Passport. If you don't have one, there is a self-pay station on your way in. In the long run, you will save a lot of money if you purchase this when you renew your license plate tabs.
