ABOUT US

As a self-sustaining nonprofit, 100% of Lowell Summer Music Series earnings and donations go directly toward bringing world-class performers to Lowell at affordable prices. Your support also helps us keep our other events—Free Fun For Kids and the annual Banjo & Fiddle Contests—free to the public, all set in the beautiful, historic Lowell National Historical Park.

The 2025 Lowell Summer Music Series is our 35th year of presenting live music in beautiful, tree-lined Boarding House Park; located in the Lowell National Historical Park surrounded by the historic Boott Mills.

Bring your own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show from the lawn. Our exclusive Premium Seating provides a chair in the first two rows right in front of the stage. 

Boarding House Park is located at 40 French Street, Lowell, MA 01852.

The Lowell Summer Music Series is presented by the nonprofit Lowell Festival Foundation. The series also presents "Free Fun For Kids", with music and shows on Wednesday and Thursday mornings.
