For the 24th consecutive summer, the streets of downtown Ripon will be filled with the sound of music when the Ripon Summer Concert Series returns. This year’s series includes a greater variety of music than ever before. Organized by Ripon Main Street, Inc. The series typically takes place on Friday evenings, June through August, but occasionally bonus concerts are added or events rescheduled due to weather issues.  Participants are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. No carry-ins are allowed in the park because beverage sales help cover entertainment expenses. Free music isn’t really free. A special Thank You goes out to the local businesses that sponsor the music series. Let them know you appreciate the financial commitment they have made to our community. We are grateful to have their support, because there would not be a concert series without their financial assistance. Ripon Main Street, Inc. invites you to enjoy an evening of entertainment in historic downtown Ripon and discover what makes our community so special.

This year sees a change in venue and format for the race.  Instead of being held on the streets of downtown Ripon, the run/walk is being moved to Riggs County Park, off of Douglas St.  Participants will be clear of traffic by running on the park’s paths; and everyone can enjoy the beautiful nature reserve of the park.  This year registration will start at 5:30pm, with the 5k race beginning at 6:30pm; to allow runners time to finish before the path gets too dark.  The Ripon Noon Kiwanis are also offering bonus features to the event, to create a well rounded evening of family friendly activities, in addition to the run.  They include:

• A bouncy castle for the kids
• A cook-out, hosted by the Ripon Noon Kiwanis from 5:30pm-7:30pm
• And throughout the event, members of the RNK will activate “lure modules” in the Pokémon Go mobile game; turning Riggs Park into a Pokémon treasure trove!

Capping off the evening, the Ripon Public Library is hosting their annual informed-stargazing event with astronomer Paul Kinzer on the east side of Riggs Park.  They will be kicking off their portion of the night with a s’mores roast at 7:30pm, followed by stargazing at 8pm.  Mars and Saturn should visible that evening, and will be the same weekend as the Perseid meteor shower!
