Looking for the full 2026 season? Our complete guide to the Jefferson Township Gazebo Concert Series 2026 has the full schedule, what to bring, and the rain plan all in one place.

Jefferson Township’s free Summer Gazebo Concert Series has three shows left this month, and every one lands on a Friday night in Oak Ridge. The concerts run at 6:30 p.m. at the gazebo on the lawn of the Municipal Building Complex, 1033 Weldon Road, they are completely free, and the series is built for families.

The Jefferson Arts Committee puts the series on every summer, and 2026 wraps up with a straight run of Friday concerts through August 21. Here is what is left on the schedule and what to know before you pack the car.

The August 2026 lineup

All three remaining shows start at 6:30 p.m. at the Jefferson Township gazebo:

  • Friday, August 7: OC5
  • Friday, August 14: Some Guys and a Broad
  • Friday, August 21: Naughty Humphrey (season finale)

Across the summer the lineup has run from classic rock and Motown to country, jazz, R&B, disco, and blues, so there is a little of everything before the season closes out.

Where it is and what to bring

The gazebo sits at the Jefferson Township Municipal Building Complex, 1033 Weldon Road in Oak Ridge. Bring lawn chairs or a blanket, and feel free to pack your own snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. Parking is free, the event is family friendly, and organizers ask everyone to carry in and carry out their trash. There is a port-a-john on site, and Frank Capello returns many nights with his Lil Ice Trike Company truck selling frozen treats.

Rain plan and who runs it

If the weather does not cooperate, the concert moves indoors to the Jefferson Township High School auditorium, just up the street at 1010 Weldon Road. The series is presented by the Jefferson Arts Committee, and while admission is free, free-will donations are welcomed to help keep the concerts going. For weather updates, follow the Jefferson Arts Committee on Facebook.
