Cancellation of Music in the Park 2020

After considerable deliberation with the Wisconsin DNR, the park superintendent, and the board of the Friends of Devil’s Lake State Park, it is with a heavy heart that we announce the cancellation of our "Music in the Park" concert series this summer due to COVID-19.

We have had a long history of supporting these concerts so the decision was not an easy one, however the safety of our community and park visitors is, and will always be, our top priority. The Friends look forward to bringing back "Music in the Park" for Summer 2021, and thank you all for your support of our concert series over the years!
