The Lovegrass Music Festival Association is excited to announce the return of the Lovegrass Summer Concert Series for its third year this summer at the Downtown Hays Pavilion, located at 10th and Main Street in Hays.
The free community concert series will feature three evenings of live music from regional touring bands, offering residents and visitors an opportunity to enjoy high-quality entertainment in the heart of downtown Hays.
The 2026 concert lineup includes:
● Friday, May 15 — Jake Leg (Colorado)
● Thursday, June 11 — High Country Hustle (Colorado)
● Thursday, July 23 — Arkansauce (Arkansas)
All performances begin at 7:00 p.m. and are open to the public at no cost. The Lovegrass Concert Series is made possible through the generous support of local sponsors and grant foundations, including Midwest Energy, AutoWorld, Lomato’s Pizza, Walmart of Hays, Hays Convention & Visitors Bureau, and the Heartland Community Foundation.
Now entering its third year, the concert series has continued to grow as a popular summer tradition that brings the community together through live music and downtown engagement.
“The Lovegrass Concert Series continues to be a great way to connect the community while showcasing outstanding live music in downtown Hays,” said Aimee Riegel, executive director of the Lovegrass Music Festival Association. “We encourage attendees to take advantage of the Downtown Hays Common Consumption District to support local businesses before and during the concerts. Guests are also welcome to bring their own coolers, and food will be available for purchase on-site during each event.”
Community members are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, gather with friends and family, and enjoy an evening of music and community connection.
