Buttermilk Music Festival – Fond du Lac Symphonic Band

Buttermilk Festival will bring in the 2026 season by bringing back old friends and new faces for their free outdoor concerts with different musical performers each week. Bring your lawn chair or blankets for seating and enjoy a beloved summer concert series featuring free weekly performances, primarily on Wednesday nights at 7:15 PM in Buttermilk Creek Park’s Wifler Performance Center.

Running through summer 2026, it showcases the Fond du Lac Symphonic Band, Kids From Wisconsin, and more, offering food concessions and a family-friendly outdoor atmosphere.

In case of rain, the concert will be held at the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds.

A concession stand, hosted by area non-profit groups, will be available at each concert. A limited number of lawn chairs are available at the park, but it is suggested that concertgoers bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. While all Buttermilk Festival concerts are free of charge, free-will offerings will be received to help defray costs. In the event of unsuitable weather, concerts will be moved to the Fond du Lac County Fairgrounds.
