In the heart of the Chippewa Valley, live music takes center stage as a community passion. The Pablo Center at the Confluence steals the spotlight as the ultimate destination for live music, fueled by the community’s dedication to the performing arts. Securing a solid second place, Phoenix Park consistently offers a good time with its music-filled park, delightful food trucks, and ample sunshine — especially during the Sounds Like Summer Concert Series. In third place, River Prairie Park (Altoona), adds a welcoming touch to the area, hosting events like the popular Summer Concert Series with rock and country music nights. —Hannah Angell
