Music on the Green, Redmond’s free summer concert series, returns at new Fairgrounds spot

REDMOND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- Bring the lawn chairs, grab a blanket and join the Redmond Chamber of Commerce & CVB for free live music as we host the 24th year of Music on the Green, presented by First Interstate Bank and Eberhard’s Dairy Products at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in the heart of Central Oregon, Redmond.

While following the guidelines set forth by Oregon Health Authority and Deschutes County Health, the Redmond Chamber of Commerce is bringing our free summer concert series to you!

Our artists will be performing from the Center Circle at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center.

The concerts are typically held at Sam Johnson Park, but due to occupancy limits and no city permits for park use, they have been moved to the fairgrounds. Organizers say they hope at some point in the season, they can be moved back to the park.

This year’s lineup includes Olivia Knox (June 30), Heller Highwater (July 14), Erin Cole-Baker (Aug. 11), and JuJu Eyeball (Aug. 25). Per annual tradition, a performance by Redmond’s own Hokulea Dancers, a troop featuring traditional Hawaiian Island dance and drumming, will round out the 2021 season on Wednesday, September 8.

Along with free musical entertainment, Music on the Green will feature a variety of food, art and craft vendors in booths throughout the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center. Kids and adults alike will love the bounce houses on site, as well as games and activities provided by vendors.

Music on the Green is made possible thanks to a number of community sponsors, starting with presenting sponsors First Interstate Bank and Eberhard's Dairy Products. Other LS Networks, Horizon Broadcasting Group, The Bulletin, The Redmond Spokesman, and The Source Weekly. Find more information at www.redmondsummerconcerts.com.
