SILVER BAY, MN — The Silver Bay Music in the Park team is pleased to announce the addition of a designated outdoor lounge for the 2026 concert season, offering attendees a new way to enjoy free Friday night live music at City Center Park. The lounge, operated by the Silver Bay Lounge, will be located in the Park State Bank parking lot and will provide a cordoned-off area where adults may sit, relax, enjoy beer or wine, and view the stage during the concerts. The lounge will launch at the July 17th Belfast Cowboys concert.
The outdoor lounge is intended to enhance the concert experience while maintaining the welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that has made Silver Bay Music in the Park a favorite summer tradition on Minnesota’s North Shore. Concert attendees using the lounge will be able to remain connected to the music and energy of the park from a comfortable nearby viewing area.
“We are excited to offer concert-goers another enjoyable way to experience Silver Bay Music in the Park,” said Kat Bullock, Silver Bay Liquor Store and Lounge Manager. “The outdoor lounge gives adults a comfortable place to enjoy a beverage while still being part of the concert atmosphere, and the designated area helps us keep the event safe, orderly, and welcoming for everyone.”
Alcoholic beverages will be permitted only within the designated outdoor lounge and may not be taken outside the cordoned-off area. Guests are encouraged to follow posted guidelines and event staff instructions so that everyone can enjoy a safe and positive concert experience.
Silver Bay Music in the Park features free Friday night concerts on the City Center Park stage and continues to bring high-quality live music to Silver Bay and the North Shore community. Attendees are encouraged to bring a chair or blanket, arrive early, and enjoy an evening of live music in downtown Silver Bay.
