What a fantastic kickoff to the 23rd Annual Songs on the Lawn season! 🎶☀️

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Civic Center Plaza yesterday for an afternoon of live music, community connection, and downtown energy. The Everett Smithson Band delivered an incredible performance that had the plaza buzzing with blues, roots music, zydeco rhythms, and plenty of accordion-driven fun.

A special thank you to Xcel Energy for presenting this beloved summer tradition and helping bring free live music to downtown Mankato.
