Levitt at the Falls today announced its 2026 summer concert season in downtown Sioux Falls, presented by MarketBeat. The season will include 50 free concerts across multiple genres, showcasing local, regional, and national talent. 

Concerts begin Thursday, June 4, and continue every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening through September 12, along with five select Saturday morning performances designed for youth and families.

“We are so excited for this year’s lineup,” said Nancy Halverson, President and CEO of Levitt at the Falls. “Our team works year-round to thoughtfully plan each season—bringing together a diverse mix of top-quality performers. From returning favorites to incredible new acts, every artist shares our mission to build community through music. The generosity of our community is what makes free live music on the lawn possible, and we look forward to another season filled with connection and the shared joy of live music.”

Each concert will feature an opening act beginning at 7 p.m., followed by a headlining performance around 7:45 p.m. The concert experience also includes a variety of food vendors and beverages available through partner JJ’s Wine & Spirits. Family Series performances will take place on five Saturday mornings throughout the summer, with music beginning at 10:30 a.m. For those unable to attend in person, concerts will be livestreamed on Levitt at the Falls’ Facebook and YouTube pages.

Levitt concerts are made possible by the generous support of the Sioux Falls community, including the Levitt’s 2026 season presenting sponsor, MarketBeat. 

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Levitt at the Falls and help bring another unforgettable summer of free live music to Sioux Falls,” said Matt Paulson, Founder and CEO of MarketBeat. “There’s nothing better than seeing the lawn packed with families, friends, and neighbors all season long. We can’t wait to kick off another incredible lineup and see the community come out to enjoy it.”

Opening night on Thursday, June 4, will feature two-time GRAMMY-nominated jazz and blues act Davina & The Vagabonds, a retro-inspired Minneapolis ensemble returning to the Levitt stage for their third appearance. The season will close on Saturday, September 12, with Chicago reggae powerhouse Gizzae, a six-piece roots reggae ensemble featuring multiple GRAMMY-winning artists. 

Season highlights also include acclaimed saxophonist Grace Kelly, who will perform Friday, June 12, as part of a week-long residency in Sioux Falls from June 8–12, featuring multiple community outreach events. GRAMMY-nominated bassist Lee Rocker of the Stray Cats takes the stage Saturday, June 19. Rising country artists from the TV show The Road will also be featured, with Britnee Kellogg performing Saturday, June 13, and Cassidy Daniels appearing Friday, August 7.

Three special events will take place at the Levitt Shell this summer, including two that connect to the nationwide America 250 commemoration, celebrating the music, stories, and cultures that shape the American experience.

The 2026 That Sounds Decent Festival will be held on June 27, with activities beginning at 5 p.m. The event celebrates local and regional music with multiple bands, food trucks, a pop-up skate park, and a headlining performance by regional rock band Night Moves.

As part of America 250, the Fourth of July weekend will showcase classic American music. Navy Band Northwest opens the celebration on Thursday, July 2, with a performance of American popular rock music. Local Americana favorite East of Westreville, featuring guest fiddler Kenny Putnam, will perform Friday, July 3. Closing out the holiday weekend, acclaimed Broadway and jazz vocalist Andrea Ross & Her Big Band will take the stage Saturday, July 4.

The All My Relatives Festival returns for its fourth year in partnership with South Dakota State University’s Wokini Initiative and will be recognized through the Smithsonian’s Of the People: Festival of Festivals, a national America 250 initiative commemorating American folklife. The all-day event features performances, fashion, storytelling, and activities that honor traditions, amplify Indigenous voices, and bring the community together, including a special co-headlining performance by rising Indigenous pop artist and hometown favorite Mato Wayuhi—known for his work as a composer on Reservation Dogs—and internationally renowned pop singer-songwriter Tia Wood.
