Rhythm on the Rails is a free, five-week outdoor concert series, that takes place on Wednesday nights from June 22 through August 3, 2022. The event has a number of local sponsors including headline sponsors Entrust and Xcel Energy. This year, one additional week will be added to the series. The City of Shakopee is the Community Sponsor as part of our agreement with the Chamber of Commerce.
The event will take place from 6:00-9:00 pm on Lewis Street in Downtown Shakopee. The event is put on by Downtown Shakopee, part of the Minnesota Main Street Program and is part of the Shakopee Chamber of Commerce. Rhythm on the Rails features top-notch live music, family fun & games, food and brew vendors and other family activities.
The evenings kick off with local opening acts, followed by not-to-miss regional headliners. Attendees have the option to purchase food and drink tickets at the front gate, enjoy a free kids zone for some family fun, and experience a beautiful and historic Downtown Shakopee while enjoying great company and live music throughout the night. The City of Shakopee Parks and Recreation Department along with volunteers and local organization will be working with the Chamber on the family fun zone.
A new addition this year there will be a Farmer's Market every Wednesday during the event timeline. The market will be from 8:00-noon in the Lewis Street Parking lot. The market will have breakfast and coffee themed food trucks.
