Rochester Public Music brings people together through concerts, cultural programs, and music education. Our events are free and public by design.

We turn parks into concert venues, bring artists into classrooms, and share music across neighborhoods. Our work is rooted in shared experience, local connection, and the belief that music belongs to everyone.

Music with Purpose.

Rochester Public Music is a department of the City of Rochester.

Our Programs

  • FORWARD Park Concerts: Free summer concerts in Rochester parks. Local bands, local food, and space for everyone to gather.
  • Riverside Music Series: Live music. Big names. No tickets. Large-scale concerts featuring chart-topping acts and rising stars.
  • Sound School: In-school residencies where students explore rhythm, movement, and musical identity — from hip hop and taiko drumming to close-harmony singing.
  • Passport Sessions: Free outdoor concerts during Thursdays Downtown, celebrating culture and connection through sound.

The Rochester Posse will sponsor Roots Music Night - Sunday, July 21 (Week #2) at 7PM in Mayo Park, featuring MIKE LOVE w/ Stanton West at the Think Bank Down by the Riverside FREE Outdoor Concert Series in Rochester, MN.

With a foundation rooted in the spirituality and message-based music of Reggae and Rastafari, Hawaii-based artist MIKE LOVE blends the sounds of progressive and classic rock, pop, R & B, soul, blues, flamenco, jazz and so much more.  Healing is at the core of his music. Fans often leave live performances remarking about how they have just been to church, or had a bad day turned around.

Stanton West songs are rootsy, feel-good, and groove driven.  His songs are about hope, having fun, being who you are, and relishing the moment.  He is an award-winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and world traveling troubadour spreading a message about the importance of family, community, nature, and positivity.
