Help Keep Live Music Thriving in Whitefish

The Whitefish Summer Concert Series was created with one simple belief: our community deserves extraordinary live music performed by exceptional artists—right here at home.

Over the past several summers, audiences have filled The O’Shaughnessy Center for unforgettable celebrations of the music of ABBA, The Rolling Stones, Motown, Dolly Parton, Queen, Heart, and more. These concerts have brought generations together, supported working musicians, and created joyful shared experiences that make Whitefish such a special place to live and visit.

But producing professional-quality concerts has become increasingly expensive. Each production can cost approximately $20,000, including artist compensation, venue expenses, sound, lighting, rehearsals, equipment, marketing, staffing, and production support. Ticket sales alone cannot cover these rising costs while keeping seats affordable for our community.

That is why we are launching this campaign with a goal of raising at least $100,000 to strengthen and sustain the Whitefish Summer Concert Series.

Your donation will help us:

Improve the sound system and production capabilities at The O’Shaughnessy Center
Hire professional musical direction, lighting, technical, and production support
Increase compensation for the talented local and regional artists who bring these shows to life
Cover essential rehearsal, venue, equipment, marketing, and administrative expenses
Keep ticket prices accessible for local families and community members
Build a sustainable foundation for future seasons

Our 2027 season will celebrate three unforgettable decades of music with The Music of the ’60s, The Music of the ’70s, and The Music of the ’80s. These ambitious productions will feature beloved songs, outstanding vocalists, exceptional musicians, and the theatrical concert experience our audiences have come to love.

This campaign is not simply about funding three concerts. It is about investing in artists, strengthening our local creative community, improving a treasured performance space, and ensuring that high-quality live entertainment continues to thrive in Whitefish for years to come.

Every gift matters. Whether you give $25, $100, $1,000, or become a major sponsor, you are helping us build something lasting for our community.

If you have ever stood in our audience, sung along with the band, watched a musician receive a standing ovation, or felt the joy of hundreds of people experiencing live music together, you already understand why this matters.

Please donate today—and help us keep the music playing in Whitefish.
