Since the summer of 2015, the Midvale Heights Community Association has been putting on free, summer evening concerts, in Segoe Park. We had been calling our concert series, "Summer Nights at Segoe". But recently, Westmoreland, our next door neighborhood to the East, has started their own concert series, which they named "Summer Nights at Westmorland Park". Since the name is so similar to ours, we have decided to rename our concert series as "Segoe Summer Nights". You may still see our concerts referred to as "Summer Nights at Segoe" in places, until the name change has been applied everywhere.
Our "Segoe Summer Nights" concert dates and bands for 2026 have been established as:
July 10, The incredible 15 member (or more!) Waunakee Big Band, playing up-tempo jazz, swing, and blues.
July 17, The Honey Pies, a favorite in past years, bring their highly acclaimed jazzy Americana music to Segoe Park.
July 24, The Cajun Strangers return, with their award-winning Cajun and Zydeco music. The Cajun Strangers have roots in the Midvale Heights neighborhood and have been a staple at our concert series for many years.
July 31, And our final concert of 2026, the Madtown Mannish Boys with their exuberant Chicago-style blues will make you want to get up and boogie!
Our concerts start at 6:30 pm (we try to have the food carts available a little earlier than that) and the music goes until 8:30 pm.
Join us for the "Segoe Summer Nights" concerts!
