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.

  • Passport Sessions: Free outdoor concerts during Thursdays Downtown, celebrating culture and connection through sound.

4th Fest: LaidEe P



LaidEe P4:30 PM, 6:15 PM, 8:00 PM - LaidEe P, Owner of FELINE MU$IK & Ent. LLC, is a Female Entrepreneur and an Entertainment Influencer. As a Rochester native (Granddaughter of John Hardy), she has made it her mission to bring back the musical arts scene to the community, by performing and working along side other local artists. Her way of existing, is by her brand’s motto “Creating energy that’s empowering to your soul!” in every business aspect she provides. With her name actually being an acronym, it’s all proven up by just that: “Living As I Desire, Entertaining Everyone Positively”. Edited photo by ab-photography.us.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support Grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
