NEGAUNEE — The Negaunee City Band has announced that its 2026 concert season will begin at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 10. Concerts will continue on succeeding Wednesdays, with the final one scheduled for Aug. 5.

Concerts are held at the Negaunee Outdoor Performing Arts Center at the east end of Iron Street. The public is invited to attend these free concerts and may wish to bring their own chairs as available seating is somewhat limited.

Lucas Wickstrom continues as director. Wickstrom, best known as an organist and church musician, is very active in the local music scene where he sings with the Negaunee Male Chorus, plays various instruments

in several groups and is involved in many musical theater productions.

The band participated, as it has for many years, in Negaunee’s Memorial Day Parade and cemetery ceremony. Also on the schedule are appearances in Ishpeming’s Independence Day Parade on July 4 and Negaunee’s Pioneer Days Parade on July 11.
