Big Lake’s Music in the Park is a free concert series held on select Thursday evenings during the months of June - August featuring a variety of live music and local food trucks. Concerts are held at Big Lake’s beautiful Lakeside Park located off of Highway 10. Food Trucks and free parking open at 5 p.m. and music is from 7-8:30 p.m. Reminder that dogs are not allowed at Lakeside Park, so please leave your furry friends at home. 

After eight years of coordination through the gracious Big Lake Legacy Foundation, Music in the Park was transitioned to a City-run program in 2021. The City of Big Lake is excited to continue Music in the Park and extends a huge Thank You to the Big Lake Legacy Foundation for creating such an impactful program for the community!
