Event Details

Music on the Barge takes place in Gull Lake Rotary Park from June to September. 

Admission is by a FREE WILL OFFERING which ensures that this great community tradition continues.

In the event of rain or lightning, concerts will be CANCELLED for the safety of the audience and performers. A decision will be made by 5:00 PM. Even if the weather clears by show-time, the show will NOT proceed because this does not allow time for setup and sound check. The moisture can also present a safety hazard for performers and the equipment. Follow us on Facebook for event updates.
