The 14th Annual Party in the Park concert lineup is officially set as Great Bend welcomes rising country star Dylan Schneider and local favorites HomeBrew to the stage at Al Burns Field.

Concert gates will open at 6 p.m. with HomeBrew kicking off the evening at 7:30 p.m.
Schneider is an exciting new talent in Nashville who released his album “Puzzled” in 2024 before headlining the “Bad Decisions Tour” that spanned across the United States. He has shared the stage with country stars such as Florida Georgia Line, Morgan Wallen, Ella Langley, Chris Lane and has earned “Artist to Watch” accolades from Pandora, Amazon Music and more. In addition, he has earned two RIAA-certified gold records and co-wrote the Top 5 hit “Momma’s House” by Dustin Lynch.
Schneider has two other shows scheduled this summer beginning on June 27 in Milwaukee, Wisc., with Russell Dickerson, and on July 3 in Orange, Va., before coming to Great Bend on August 8.
A longtime favorite on the Party in the Park stage, HomeBrew has returned year after year as one of Barton County's most beloved local bands. Known for their versatility, they deliver a high-energy mix that appeals to every crowd. True to their name, every band member was born or "homebrewed" in Great Bend, making their connection to both the community and stage they perform on especially meaningful.
Limited paper tickets are available to purchase for $10 at City Hall (1209 Williams) and the Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau (3111 10th St.) and will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
All morning portion favorites of Party in the Park will return including Oozfest mud volleyball, the vendor fair, the Kiwanis Club wet/dry parade and Kids Fun Zone featuring bounce houses, the police dunk tank, a balloon artist, face painter and caricature artist. The first-ever Paws & Claws Shine & Show will take place at the park along with Explore Great Bend hosting a patriotic suncatchers decorating booth.
Registration forms for mud volleyball, the vendor fair and wet/dry parade can be found on the city’s website events page.
