This summer marks the 30th anniversary of the Summer Concert Series at Warner Park hosted by NewBridge Madison. The concerts are held Monday evenings, 6–7:30 pm, at the Warner Park Shelter from June 16–July 28 (no concert July 7). There is no admission fee, but NewBridge gladly accepts donations to support this wonderful northside tradition, and all ages are welcome to attend.
We have a fantastic line-up again this year including Universal Sound (June 30), Eddie Butts Band (July 14) and Ladies Must Swing (July 28). Another highlight will be performances from NewBridge older adults in the band M Trane, our dance group The Sassy Steppers, and our Ritmo & Drums group. There will be food carts at each concert or you can bring your own meal. Bring chairs or a blanket to sit on.
At the June 16 concert, we will celebrate our 30th season with some free giveaways and a surprise or two. It’s a great opportunity to enjoy live music in a smaller setting and be together with friends and neighbors at beautiful Warner Park.
A special thanks to Dane Arts and the Madison Arts Commission for their continued support of these concerts.
We are celebrating our 50th Anniversary in 2025. For half a century, NewBridge has been a cornerstone of our community, offering a comprehensive menu of programs and services for older adults to help them age successfully and with dignity. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, we invite you to participate in our $50 for 50 years campaign. Your gift of $50 — or any amount that you can contribute — will help us provide resources, care, and social opportunities that make a difference in so many lives. To give a donation or to view the full summer concert schedule, please visit our website: newbridgemadison.org.
