Music in the Park event 2025

This Father’s Day, head to Dayboro’s Roderick A. Cruice Park for a free outdoor concert that’s perfect for families and music lovers.

On Sunday 7 September (1–5 PM), the park will come alive with talented local musicians playing folk and acoustic tunes. The event promises a relaxing afternoon of live music, delicious food, and great company – all set in a lovely, laid-back picnic atmosphere.

Bring a blanket or camp chair, grab the kids (and even the dog on a leash), and enjoy a chilled-out day of tunes and fun. The vibe is very family-friendly: kids can play on the grass, everyone can sample eats from onsite food trucks, and dads can even tell (or hear) a few light-hearted PG-rated jokes from the stage. With music under shady trees and picnic vibes all around, it’s a great way to unwind together.

Stage Program

From 1 PM to 5 PM the main stage will feature four local acts. The schedule of performances (all free to enjoy) is:
