Shirley's Park & Country Retreat

09/08/2026

We had an absolute blast with everyone who came out last Saturday! The weather cooperated, and both bands blew us away. A huge thank you to Amy Zents and the New Ulm Journal for stopping by to cover our event for the paper! 🎶☀️📰

Clear skies and classic country sounds brought crowds together at Shirley's Park and Country Retreat on Saturday as campers, local residents, and music fans gathered for the campground's annual Labor Day weekend concert.
The free outdoor event offered a well-rounded slate of regional talent, featuring acoustic story-driven country during the afternoon and a full-band rock-and-country set in the evening, alongside local food truck vendors and lakeside recreation.
