Thank you to all who made the 10th Anniversary summer of Hear Grand Island such an incredible success.

Thank you to the food and dessert trucks that kept us fed and cooled down!

Thank you to the musicians who shared their incredible talents with us and kept the crowd dancing all night long.

Thank you to our sponsors. These shows are 100% sponsor funded. Without our generous community sponsors there would be no shows. Make sure to continue to support them as a thank you for helping keep live music free in downtown Grand Island.

Thank you to the planning committee. Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation & Chamber of Commerce , Greater Grand Island Community Foundation , and Grand Island Tourism They volunteered endless hours of time to pull these shows off from start to finish, and we couldn't be more thankful for the community support.

And lastly, thank you to all our fans who came out, supported us, and enjoyed the shows. We do this for you! Thank you for appreciating the music and efforts.

Until next summer, Grand Island!

If you would like -- we'd love to know your favorite memory from this past summer. Feel free to share it in the comments (pictures always welcome)!
