Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series
Thank you for a great 2023 season!
Since 2015, Thursday nights during the summers mean gathering with friends and family in downtown Sheboygan to listen to live music, and bringing the community together for an impressive, genre-spanning lineup of free, live performances.
The series is accompanied by a lineup of local food trucks, a beverage tent, and art-making activities for all ages.
These performances leverage the power of free, live music to strengthen the social fabric of communities–creating places people love while amplifying local pride, injecting joy into underused public spaces, and fostering more equitable, thriving, and sustainable communities one concert at a time.
Be sure to share your Levitt memories with us! #MusicMoves
