Moon Tunes kicks off its 14th summer of free concerts in La Crosse's Riverside Park on Thursday, and co-founder Terry Bauer is in studio talking about how all of this has come together.
Mae Simpson, an award-winning, seven-piece band out of Minneapolis, performing funk, soul and rock & roll is the season-opener. The concerts run 5:30-8 p.m.
Bauer highlights some of the bands headed to La Crosse this season, as seven of the 13 are new. We also discuss the renovated bandshell and what food trucks will be at the park.
There's also a train for the kids to ride, they're doing handicap parking with a shuttle from the Oktoberfest grounds and Smith's Bicycle Shop is in charge of the bike corral -- basically valet for bicyclists.
Moon Tunes started in 2011 as Noon Tunes, but three years in they moved it to the evening and that's where it's been the past 11 years. Check out the website here.
