This annual event will feature two exciting series, the Veteran’s Stage and Water Street Square, both offering free admission to the public and a delightful experience for music lovers of all ages.
The Veteran’s Stage series powered by Constellation will take place every Thursday evening from June 25 through September 3, 2026, between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m., with a pause during the week of Harborfest. Set against the stunning Oswego River, this venue will host a vibrant lineup of renowned local bands. Attendees are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs, coolers, and food, creating a festive atmosphere in this beautiful riverside setting.
“Constellation is proud to support the Summer Concert Series because events like these bring neighbors together, celebrate the spirit of Oswego, and help create a vibrant downtown for residents, families, and visitors alike,” said Carl Crawford, Vice President of Nine Mile Point Clean Energy Center.
Alex Sterio, Vice President of James A. FitzPatrick Clean Energy Center, expressed his enthusiasm, “We are honored to support the Oswego Summer Concert Series. Live music has a special way of connecting people, and we are proud to help highlight the local talent, creativity, and sense of community that make Oswego such a special place.”
The Water Street Square series in partnership with Oswego County Tourism will light up Friday nights from June 26 to August 21, 2026, also skipping the Harborfest week, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. This cozy venue on Water Street will feature an acoustic lineup brimming with talented local artists, promising an intimate and soulful musical experience. As with the Veteran’s Stage, food and alcohol will be permitted, making it a perfect evening out for families and friends alike.
“We’re thrilled to continue our partnership with the City of Oswego for the Summer Concert Series,” said Oswego County Deputy Director of Tourism Daniel Breitweg. “Each show invites residents and visitors alike to support local talent, enjoy the beauty of the waterfront and discover something new every week. We encourage everyone to experience this part of the county firsthand and see what makes Oswego truly special in the summer.”
“I want to extend my sincere thanks to Constellation and Oswego County for their continued partnership and generous support of our 2026 Summer Concert Series. Their commitment to our community helps make events like these possible and strengthens the quality of life we enjoy here in Oswego. These partnerships demonstrate what can be accomplished when organizations work together with a common purpose,” said City of Oswego Mayor, Robert Corradino.
