Curated by The Englert Theatre and sponsored by Hills Bank, Suzanne Stock, and Urban Acres, this FREE music series promises to ignite the Northside community with outdoor performances from talented local artists. Grab a seat at any of the available tables on the Northside Outside street or bring your own chairs. Whether you’re a music enthusiast or just looking for a fun evening out, this event guarantees something special for everyone.
And what’s better than enjoying great tunes? Pairing them with delicious food and drinks from our Northside businesses, of course! Attendees can order from any of the Northside restaurants and savor their treats on the street while soaking in the ambiance of Northside’s sights and sounds.

Additional support for the music series comes from Think Iowa City, Phoebe Martin Realtor, and KCL Engineering.
