Roosevelt Summer Sundays: Southbound

Our 23rd season comes to a spectacular close with Southbound! Led by our good friend, James Biehn, this killer band pays tribute to the Allman Brothers Band, and we cannot wait to bring them back to Roosevelt Summer Sundays. Don’t miss this! Our concerts are free and everyone is welcome. Grab your lawn chairs, grab your friends, and we’ll see you at the park!
Our annual night of giving takes place with this event. All monetary donations collected will go to Food at First and MICA (Mid-Iowa Community Action), two organizations that work tirelessly to combat food insecurity in our community. Donations are free-will; please give if you are able.
Alcohol and tobacco/vaping are prohibited in Roosevelt Park. No other age-restricted products are allowed at the concerts.
