Mounder Town
Mt. Morris Jamboree Free
Friday Night Concerts on the Campus
What a tremendous 2024 Summer Jamboree Concert we had! We had the largest crowds ever – over 2,000 attendees for our last concert of the season! And, thanks to Diane Palmer for videoing them live on Facebook and then placing them on the Moundertown.com website (this website!) under the Summer Concerts Videos page. (Infact, she has put all of this season’s band performances on the page, so if you missed one or more, or want to rewatch any, that is your place to go!) Thanks also to Ed Higley for sharing the concerts on 102.3 FM radio every week!
A huge shout-out to all the vendors every week, our local sponsors, and of course the “Free-Will” donations!
We’re looking forward to seeing you again in June 2025!
==========================================================
Our 2024 season of free live music on the bandshell in the center of town on our beautiful and historic Campus is about to begin!
We have the best free concerts in Ogle County and the Friday night Mt. Morris Jamboree concerts are why. Regional and national musicians bring a variety of styles like folk, rockabilly, country, classic rock and tribute bands to the campus during the summer. There are some permanent benches and lots of green space for lawn chairs. Arrive early to get a good spot and sample the food scene, visit the art gallery on campus, or shop the sidewalk vendors.
The concerts are free, although donations are welcome.
