Sharing from our friends at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in North Mankato... FREE Family Fun!! Mankato Area Community Band . The Mankato Area Community Band is back! The group plays Tuesday evenings at Sibley Park at 7:30 pm (at the band pavilion near the animal barns). The concerts are FREE and are very family friendly events! Bring your lawn chairs (and insect repellent!) and enjoy some live music. . The band plays a variety of music, from Sousa marches to Broadway show tunes. It’s a great way to expose kids to music! The FREE concerts will be held at Sibley Park (all at 7:30 pm), on June 8th, 15th, 22nd, & 29th; and July 5th & 12th. Hope to see you there for some fun music!
