Duluth’s Parks and Recreation division announced today that performer applications are being accepted for the 2024 Music in the Park concert series. Formerly known as the Chester Creek Concert Series, the Tuesday-night shows will be held at Chester Park from June 18 to July 16, then at Lincoln Park from July 23 to Aug. 13.

The concert series was founded in 1982 by Thom Storm, who worked for Duluth Parks and Recreation and later became executive director of the Chester Bowl Improvement Club. This year’s expansion to include the Lincoln Park stone pavilion as a second venue follows improvements made to the pavilion and park last summer.

The nine concerts are scheduled to run from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Artists applying to perform may be offered a 90-minute slot or a split performance with two acts playing 40-minute sets. Performers interested in applying can find more information and an application form at duluthmn.gov.
