Music in the Park
The Historic Downtown Chelan Association, in partnership with other local businesses, sponsors live music on Sundays throughout the summer season. These Music in the Park concerts take place at the Riverwalk Park Pavilion, just across the bridge from your Grandview unit! Bring a blanket, grab a to-go meal from participating businesses, and picnic under the sun while you enjoy some seriously good tunes. You can dip your toes in the water, go for a float, dance in the grass, or simply lie back and soak it all in. It’s a perfect, family-friendly way to spend an afternoon.
Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce
Many businesses send their music and event schedules to the Lake Chelan Chamber of Commerce website. There’s always an updated calendar, found here, for you to check out.
Through the Chamber of Commerce, you can usually find which wineries or coffee shops are offering live music, who will be playing, and the time! It makes it easy to plan your day or evening accordingly.
