GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — From indie pop and LatinX to Native Americana and country bluegrass, this summer’s Levitt AMP Green Bay Music Series will have a little bit of everything.
On Broadway, Inc. held a launch party Tuesday to unveil the 10-week artist lineup. 2024 will mark the second of three years the series calls Green Bay home.
Free performances will take place every Sunday evening from June 2 to Aug. 4 at Leicht Memorial Park. Concerts and other activities are from 4 to 6:30 p.m.
Officials say the goal of the Levitt AMP Green Bay Music Series is to bring residents of all ages and backgrounds together at an underutilized public space to enjoy original live music and celebrate arts, culture and community.
“This is a great thing,” said Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich. “I just can’t say enough about what Levitt AMP brings to On Broadway, brings to downtown Green Bay. I think we’ve got a lot of live music opportunities throughout the year in this community, but Levitt brings something really distinct and unique and fun.”
On Broadway, Inc. Executive Director Brian Johnson said that in order for a community to have a strong social fabric, it needs a strong arts and culture scene.
“That is why Green Bay, particularly On Broadway, chose to apply for this grant, why we awarded this grant and why we continue to do the work that we do, along with all of the volunteers that you see here today,” Johnson said.
