KAUKAUNA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — A music festival is returning to Kaukauna this summer.
Electric City River Jam is set for June 18-21 in Hydro Park at 100 Crooks Ave.
After the privately-run Electric City Experience came to end last spring, the city of Kaukauna organized its own two-day music festival that was held in August 2024. On the final day of the event, Mayor Tony Penterman revealed its new name: Electric City River Jam.
We are the Electric City, and we like to party and jam by the river,” Mayor Penterman said during a speech last year where he announced the new name.
In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, downtown Kaukauna enjoyed festivals such as River Jam and River Days. The city hopes this new event will grow year after year.
The first day of the festival will feature live music from eight bands, including award-winning groups such as Half-Empty, RPM, and Kyle Megna & the Monsoons; the up-and-coming Billy Bronsted Trio; Fox Valley-based favorites Petty Things and Homemade Brew; and globally acclaimed bands LowDown Brass Band and Wild Adriatic.
