🎶 What a summer on the Ridge!

From the first note to the final song, our 2026 Concerts on the Ridge brought neighbors together for summer evenings filled with great music, dancing, food, friends and fun.

None of it happens without the businesses and organizations that support our community and help us keep these concerts free for everyone.

To all of our 2026 Concerts on the Ridge sponsors and supporters: we’re so grateful you helped make this summer sing. ❤️

A shout out to our food vendors, Cocina Azteca, Firehouse Grill and Katz Cookies, for providing the nourishment :)

And to everyone who joined us week after week—thank you for showing up, dancing along and making Wednesday nights at Ridgeville so much fun!

See you next summer! 🎵

TONIGHT! One last Concert on the Ridge for 2026!

It’s going to be a steamy one — and we’ve got the perfect soundtrack. Los Perros Cubanos bring the heat with Cuban Son, Salsa, Cha Cha and Charanga, then mix in jazz, blues, rock and even a little country for a sound all their own.

You’ve never heard anything quite like Los Perros Cubanos — and you definitely won’t want to sit still! 💃
