2026 Summer Concerts
The M.A.R.S.S. Music in the Park events all take place at the Stockton Township Memorial Park on US 20 next to the high school (600 N Pearl St, Stockton, IL 61085). The concerts start at 6 pm and run until about 8 pm.
Admission to the Music in the Park concerts is free, but we will have donation jars available and hope you will contribute in order to help us bring more musical events to Stockton.

There will be at least one food truck at each concert - come hungry and ready to eat!

Music is performed outdoors, so please dress for the weather. There is limited seating, so please bring a chair. And maybe some bug spray, too.
