Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series
Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series Brings the Community Together for the 2024 Season!
Hundreds of songs, thousands of smiles, and a strong sense of community will once again fill Sheboygan’s City Green with the return of the JMKAC’s Levitt AMP Sheboygan Music Series.
June 20 kicks off an impressive, genre-spanning lineup of free, live performances. The ten-concert series is accompanied by a lineup of local food trucks, a beverage tent, and art-making activities for all ages.
Most concerts in the series happen Thursday evenings on the City Green, but there are a few exceptions. See the concert schedule below for details.
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
