Weston Acoustic concerts pair music, food
- Weston, Wisconsin, is bringing back its Acoustic Concert Series this summer, with free Tuesday night shows at Machmueller Park from June 23 through July 28 and one food truck booked for each event. - The 2026 run trims the season to six dates from the nine-date debut in 2025, and keeps the format simple: acoustic acts, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. sets, chairs welcome. - The series began last summer as musician Jackson Taylor’s family-friendly park project and is still backed by Weston tourism promotion.

Weston is bringing back its Acoustic Concert Series this summer, pairing free Tuesday night concerts with a single food truck at Machmueller Park. (wausaudailyherald.com) The 2026 schedule runs from June 23 through July 28 in Weston, Wisconsin. The shows are set for 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Machmueller Park, 7200 Quentin St. (wausaudailyherald.com) (article.wn.com) The format is small by design: one acoustic act and one food truck each week. Attendees can bring chairs, and the village has promoted individual pairings such as Dustin Lee with Palmetto Grill Food Truck. (wausaudailyherald.com) (westonwi.gov) That setup marks a shift from the series’ first season in 2025, when Weston resident and musician Jackson Taylor organized nine Tuesday shows across July and August. Those concerts ran later, from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (westonwi.gov 1) (westonwi.gov 2) Taylor pitched the series last year as a family-friendly place for local artists to play outside the usual bar circuit. The village newsletter said carry-ins were allowed, and rain plans moved shows to Hutch’s Kelly Club at 4810 Ross Ave. (westonwi.gov) (wsaw.com) Weston’s tourism apparatus has stayed involved as the series has grown. A Tourism Commission agenda posted April 21 listed the concert series among commission business, and village newsletters have said the program is funded in part by Weston Tourism Commission funds. (westonwi.gov 1) (westonwi.gov 2) The result is a compact summer event: six free park concerts, each with one vendor and one featured performer. For Weston, that keeps the night centered on music without turning it into a larger festival. (wausaudailyherald.com)
