Grand Haven Free Fridays is a FREE Summer Concert Series that unites our vibrant community, visitors, the arts (music), local businesses, and area nonprofits through the power of music. 

Our community champions, the nonprofits, address the critical needs in our community, foster social change, and embody compassion and are at the heart of our mission. Grand Haven Free Fridays proudly shine a spotlight on these partners. Each concert will highlight an area nonprofit and the funds raised at the concerts will be equally distributed among them at the series end.

Grand Haven Free Fridays promises to strike the right chords, creating music, memories, and positive change along the Third Coast. Join us at the Lynne Sherwood Waterfront Stadium on Friday evenings (starting June 27, 2025) this summer. Let’s amplify the vision of: “Music Everywhere, For Everyone” while making positive change!
