Polson Park Palooza – One Night Only!

We’re back for one unforgettable night of music, community, and summer vibes in the park! Due to upcoming construction, this will be the only Polson Park Palooza of the year—so don’t miss it.

Join us Friday as the Polson Night Market kicks off at 4 PM with an amazing lineup of artisan vendors, tasty food trucks, and good company. Then at 6:30 PM, the stage lights up with the high-energy folk-punk sounds of Total Gadjos, featuring accordion, grit, and wild rhythms. They’ll be followed by the powerhouse grooves of the Cat Wells Band, bringing blues with bite and serious party energy.

Bring your blanket, your camp chairs, and your dancing shoes—or just kick 'em off and dance barefoot in the grass. Let’s make this one-night-only Palooza one to remember.
