Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, large gatherings are prohibited by local and state authorities in order to prevent further spread of the virus. According to Executive Order 2020-115 (COVID-19), instated by Governor Whitmer, outdoor gatherings for events and performances cannot exceed 250 people. The order was established on June 5, 2020, and is to remain active indefinitely.
The free concerts normally take place every Thursday night throughout the month of August at Kiefer Park, bringing over 2,000 people each night. Since 2009, the concerts have provided the Port Huron area with music, food trucks, and beverage tents on summer evenings--a perfect setting for gathering with friends and family.
“ We want everyone to be safe and healthy so that we can all continue to enjoy events like these for years to come.”
