Summer Music Series
Summer Music Series at The Marshall Muse Gallery
Where Music, Art, and Community Meet
Follow us on social media for updates on Musicians and Vendors!
Join us this summer for an outdoor evening series that brings together live music, local art, and a vibrant creative community. Each Thursday, The Marshall Muse transforms into an open-air gathering space featuring live performances, pop-up vendors, and curated artwork on display throughout the grounds. (Weather permitting.)
The event begins at 5pm, giving you time to grab a drink, explore the art, and settle in before live music begins at 6pm. Our bar will be open (credit card only), and guests are welcome to bring their own food or enjoy snacks available for purchase on-site. Outside beverages are not permitted.
While the music fills the outdoor space, creativity continues inside the gallery with Create & Sips, classes, and ongoing programming, making this more than just a concert; it’s a full evening experience.
Whether you're meeting friends, discovering new artists, or simply looking for a place to unwind, the Summer Music Series is your Thursday night destination all season long.
Every Thursday | June through August | 5–8pm
For musicians and vendors interested in participating, don’t delay in reaching out.
There are fewer available Thursdays than it might seem!
