Concerts on the Courthouse Lawn

Blues, country, rock and roll. The music menu at the Concerts on the Courthouse Lawn each Thursday throughout the summer holds a variety that appeals to the toe-tapper in everyone.

The season opener for 2021 is Schjei Country on May 27. These weekly concerts run through the end of August and are presented by the Red Willow Arts Coalition (RWAC).

The concerts have become one of the area’s most popular social gatherings, where friends and family get together to listen to music.

The RWAC, formed in 2009 to promote the arts and provide entertainment in the lakes area, has been bringing this all together for music fans on the lawn of the Douglas County Courthouse free of charge for several years and plans to provide entertainment again this summer. Just bring your lawn chair or blanket and grab a seat. All concerts begin at 7 p.m.
