The Town of Shelburne is preparing for a summer of live entertainment as planning gets underway for the 2026 Fiddle Park Concert Series.
The free, family-friendly concert series will be hosted at Fiddle Park, located at 105 Second Line. It will feature a lineup of live music and performances designed to bring residents together while showcasing local and regional talent.
Town officials say the series reflects Shelburne’s ongoing investment in community programming and public spaces, with this year’s concerts marking a special milestone as one of the first major events held at the newly redeveloped park.
The enhanced venue is designed to support recreation, community gatherings and special events, providing a dedicated outdoor space for residents to connect and celebrate.
The 2026 concert dates are scheduled for July 5, July 19, Aug. 9, Aug. 23, and Sept. 13. All performances will be open to the public, offering accessible entertainment for families and community members throughout the summer season.
As part of the planning process, the town is inviting performers of all genres and styles to apply to take part in the series. Interested artists are asked to submit their name, type of performance, and links or samples of their work to town staff for consideration. The call aims to highlight the wide range of talent in and around Shelburne while creating opportunities for local artists to perform in a public setting.
Municipal staff will also be using the call for performers to build a roster of artists for future community events, helping ensure local talent continues to play a role in programming in the years ahead.
Residents are encouraged to share the opportunity with local performers and attend the events as the town looks to foster creativity, community connection and cultural engagement through a summer of live entertainment.
