❤️ THAT’S A WRAP ON OUR 2026 MUSIC SEASON! 🎶

What. A. Summer.

As we pack up the last tables, put away the signs, and let the Forward Central Stage go quiet for a little while, we just want to say one enormous THANK YOU.

Thank you to the incredible musicians who brought so much talent and energy to Rib Lake.

Thank you to our sponsors and donors who make it possible for us to bring high-quality, FREE live music to our community.

Thank you to the food vendors and local organizations who kept everyone fed and helped make each concert feel like a true community event.

Thank you to our volunteers — the people hauling coolers, setting up, tearing down, selling drinks and raffle tickets, cleaning up, and doing the hundred little things most people never see.

And most importantly, thank YOU.

Every person who grabbed a lawn chair, brought the kids, bought a drink or raffle ticket, tossed a few dollars in the donation bucket, danced in front of the stage, invited a friend, or simply showed up — you are the reason we do this.

Seeing hundreds of people gathered together in the heart of Rib Lake week after week is exactly what Friends of Rib Lake is all about.

We're proud of what this little community continues to accomplish when people are willing to show up, pitch in, and take a chance on trying something new😉

From all of us at Friends of Rib Lake — THANK YOU for an incredible 2026 season. ❤️

We've made it all season without having to cancel a show...we'll folks, we aren't going to start now!! The bandshell is magically nestled in a spot that seems to deter rain, and 90% of the time we don't end up getting what the weather guy says we are anyway! SO, lets do it!
There is a 100% chance of it raining cash for the Grand Finale Cash Raffle drawings tonight!! Get your tickets throughout the show for your chance to win BIG!! The Medford Performing Arts Center has generously donated a 2026-2027 Family season concert pass as an additional 4th place prize!!
Come support your sponsors, The Rib Lake Lions food stand and the Friends of Rib Lake as this is our final push to raise the funds for more INCREDIBLE music in 2027!!!

The Rib Lake Lions are the glue that seem to hold this community together. From providing Halloween candy to the nursing home residents for Trick or Treating to sponsoring glasses for children who need them to see, the Lions seek to do good in all that they do. We feel fortunate to call them a sponsor for our final show of the summer, Hip Pocket tomorrow night. Thank you for all you do, Lions.

The Lions will be using this show to help fundraise to continue their kind efforts throughout our community. Please come on down and support them as much as they support all of us. Thank you so much for supporting the Friends of Rib Lake. 💙
