Plymouth Civic League

The Plymouth Civic League's all-volunteer Board of Directors is composed of citizens and business people whose primary objective is to promote and carry forward the mission of Music in Plymouth - to bring the community together for an evening of high quality entertainment designed to enrich the lives of our diverse citizenry.

Since the first Music in Plymouth was held on a vacant lot in the Minneapolis Industrial Park in 1972, Music in Plymouth has become an annual summer extravaganza eagerly anticipated by residents of Plymouth and surrounding communities. Each summer, more than 15,000 people flock to the verdant park surrounding the Hilde Performance Center, enjoy an array of family-friendly activities and musical acts, nosh on picnic suppers or purchased refreshments, and then sit back and revel in the starlight concert and fireworks – widely considered one of the best displays in the state. 

With any event like this, there is always some “heavy lifting” that goes on behind the scenes. The Plymouth Civic League is a group of volunteers that organizes, plans, reinvents and produces Music in Plymouth each year. The task is made lighter, however, by the widespread support we receive from our donors. 

Now more than ever, we are acutely aware of how much our community needs its joyful traditions and the sense of community identity that Music in Plymouth has created.
