What a GREAT night in downtown Ellsworth, Thursday, Sept 24, 2026! Last night’s Downtown Summer Concert Series brought another fantastic night of live music to the Franklin Street Parklet, and what a crowd we had! Cam King’s DEAD NIGHT and Madcap Minstrels brought the music, and our community brought the energy! From the great tunes to the dancing and the wonderful crowd gathered under the lights, it was another reminder of just how special these Thursday evenings have been in The Friendly City.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the show, support our downtown businesses, and spend the evening with friends and neighbors. Seeing the Parklet filled with people enjoying live music is exactly what this concert series is all about. We also extend our thanks to Vinyl Vogue for sponsoring last night And Black Moon Public House, Wallace Events, our generous sponsors, and the City of Ellsworth Parks & Recreation team for their continued work to make these free community concerts possible.
One More Thursday Night of Music!
