SHARE NOW

Music lovers in Galva are in for a treat as the Galva Arts Council prepares to launch the 2025 Levitt AMP Galva Music Series. The festivities begin June 7th and 8th at Wiley Park, featuring back-to-back concerts from award-winning Quique Escamilla, teenage talent Charlotte Blu, genre-blending Alysha Brilla, and Americana songwriter Zach Pietrini. Concerts will continue every Sunday through August 3rd, running from 6 to 8:30 PM. Guests should bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating, with a variety of local vendors on-site. Handicap-accessible seating is available, along with a shuttle service for ease of access.

Saturday features Quique Escamilla, a Juno Award winner from Mexico, blending folk traditions with rock and reggae, delivering dynamic performances rooted in themes of social justice. Also on stage, Charlotte Blu—best known for her time on NBC’s “The Voice”—shares her growth as a young, passionate singer-songwriter. On Sunday, Alysha Brilla infuses global rhythms and activism into her music, while Zach Pietrini offers heartfelt Americana with blue-collar soul. Accessible seating, shuttle assistance, and parking guidance are in place. More details at galvamusic.com.

Attendees of this year’s Levitt AMP Galva Music Series will notice several important updates to event logistics. Street parking is available, but organizers are requesting that no vehicles be parked directly inside the park. Handicap-accessible seating is now provided in the northwest corner, complete with a dedicated unloading area and a golf cart shuttle to assist with mobility needs. For those arriving by golf cart or UTV, officials ask that these vehicles remain on the perimeter to ensure clear sightlines and minimize safety risks. The series continues to be supported by local sponsors, donors, volunteers, and the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation.
