Frequently Asked Questions
Are the concerts back again this year? Of course! The four shows for 2024 will be held on four consecutive Thursdays — July 18, July 25, August 1 and August 8 — in Town Center Park.
Who’s playing? See bands.
When do the shows start? Opening acts play at 5:30 p.m., with approximately a 45-minute set. Headliners play starting at 6:30 p.m., with a 10-minute intermission at around 7:30 p.m. Come early and claim your spot on the lawn!
Where should I park? We recommend walking if you are within walking distance of the park. If you must drive, the official designated parking lot for the concerts is the City Hall parking lot. In the event that you can’t find space there, the designated overflow parking is at Clackamas Community College’s Wilsonville campus. From the southwest corner of that lot, there is a short city pathway that leads directly to Town Center Park. There’s a limited number of parking stalls immediately next to Town Center Park that are available first-come, first-served, and a few that are designated as disabled-only parking. There are also public lots within a somewhat walkable distance, at the Wilsonville Community Center and the Wilsonville Public Library. It is recommended that you arrive early for best selection of available parking spaces.
Is smoking allowed in Town Center Park? No. By city ordinance, smoking is not permitted.
Will the Wilsonville Farmers Market be there? Yes, it will! The Wilsonville Farmers Market is sharing the park with us this year. It is independently managed and not part of Rotary, but available as a convenience to all park patrons at the south end of the park (towards Goodwill). The market is open 4–8 p.m. for everyone’s enjoyment.
Will food be available at Town Center Park? Food trucks associated with the Wilsonville Farmers’ Market will be on hand. The Wilsonville Moose Lodge will offer burgers, dogs and drinks on 7/18 (other dates perhaps as well). There are also definitely many great local restaurants where you can pick up dinner on the way to the concerts. Check our restaurant list.
Will alcohol be available? No. Rotary has not secured an alcohol permit for the concerts and will not be selling alcoholic beverages. Per city ordinance, Town Center Park is an alcohol-free zone.
Are these concerts free? You bet! The Rotary Club of Wilsonville produces this annual concert series as thanks to the Wilsonville community for its generous support of our service projects and activities throughout the year. There is no admission charge. However, if you would like to make a contribution to End Polio Now or the club’s Youth Services programs, it would be gratefully appreciated. We’ll accept donations for polio on 7/18 and 8/1 and for youth services on 7/25 and 8/8. Every dollar given for polio is matched two-for-one by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. So, if you give $25, it is matched with $50 and becomes $75. With your help, we will eliminate polio forever! Donate here: www.wilsonvilleconcerts.com/give.
