This year's series includes a greater variety of music than ever before. Organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc., the free outdoor concerts begin Friday, June 6, with Replicoustic, a four piece acoustic rock band.
“Main Street has scheduled a diverse group of entertainers encompassing a wide range of musical styles," says Craig Tebon, Ripon’s Downtown Manager. “We tried to select bands that would appeal to a variety of people."
The entertainment scheduled will encompass musical styles ranging from the honky-tonk sound of Andy's Automatics, classic country by Whisky River, polkas by the Tuba Dan Band, scorching hot blues by Reverend Raven and Dave Steffen, and a variety of rock by I Drank With Frank, The Britins, Vic Ferrari and more.
The concerts run from 7 to 10 p.m. and take place on The Village Green located at the corner of Watson and Seward streets in downtown Ripon. Participants are encouraged to bring folding chairs or blankets to sit on. The series runs June through August, with the exception of Riponfest weekend July 6–8.
