About the Series

Free and fun for the entire family, the CFCU Downtown Ithaca Summer Concert Series  will broadcast virtually at 6:00 pm each Thursday between July 9 and September 24, 2020. The concerts are traditionally held at the Bernie Milton Pavilion on the Commons; however, this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the shows will appear virtually online here and the Downtown Ithaca Facebook Page until further notice.

Local and national acts perform music in genres including jazz, blues, reggae, folk, hip hop, country, bluegrass, rock, and more.

The concerts are all ages, so tune in with the whole family! And, even plan takeout from one of the restaurants in Downtown Ithaca to complete the experience!

The CFCU Summer Concert Series is made possible by our amazing sponsors! 

Enjoy a selection of new seasonal and summer time favorite beers provided by Seneca Beverage Company and wine courtesy of Wagner Valley Vineyards. The beer garden is open for the duration of each concert. The CFCU Community Credit Union (CFCU) returning as title sponsor of the award-winning CFCU Summer Concert Series will be continuing their support of the United Way through a fundraiser with exciting prizes.

Concertgoers can buy a reusable cup for $1, with 100% of the proceeds going to the United Way. Each time you have your cup filled at our bar throughout the concert series, you will be entered in a raffle to win the grand prize.
