This summer the LevittAMP Stevens Point Music Series isn't rocking Pfiffner Park - but the show goes on! Join the weekly live streams and create your own #LevittLawns from wherever you are. The events showcase the power of community and the way live music can bring people together, even if that means from a safe distance.
Changes for 2020
Live Streaming the Concerts - To keep the music playing this year, in light of COVID-19, CREATE portage county partnered with Thousand Lumens Productions to take the concerts virtual. Livestreams of the concerts will be held on Thursday evenings, from July 23 through September 10, featuring new artists each week. Check out the remaining concerts below, or click here for the full 2020 line-up.
Create your own mini Levitt Lawns - While crowds are a no-go for the summer, it doesn't mean you can't create your own concert experience from the comfort of your own home base. Grab your favorite blanket or lawn chair, and spend the evening outside to enjoy the music and the summer evenings! Make your own space on your lawn, driveway, park, etc.!
Don't forget the Food + Drinks - While the food trucks and beverage tent won't be assembled for all of the community to enjoy - consider incorporating local businesses, to grab some goods for curbside pick-up or take-out. Or, head out for a socially distanced stop at some of the local businesses that will be live streaming the audio, including Main Grain Bakery & Emy J's, District 1 Brewing Company and the Bottle Stop.
Share the fun, for a chance to win - Share a picture of your own #LevittLawn on Instagram by 7pm on the day of the concert and tag @CREATEpoco for a chance to win. Those 21 and over will be entered to win a prize package from the Stevens Point Brewery, including one 6-pack of each of the following: Point Special, Point Hoptastic (or seasonal), Tea Runner Original Tea, and Tea Runner Peach Tea.

The series is supported in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, empowering locations across America to transform underused public spaces into thriving destinations through free, live music.
