The Oro Valley Concert Series is more than just live music—it’s a year-round celebration of culture, community, and creativity. From October through August, residents and visitors can enjoy free monthly concerts at rotating locations throughout Oro Valley, transforming plazas, parks, and gathering spaces into vibrant stages.

With such diverse programming, there’s truly a performance for every musical taste.
At Art State Arizona, we believe the arts should be woven into everyday life, and this series is a living example of that vision. By providing paid opportunities for local musicians to share their craft, the series uplifts the creative sector while enriching the cultural fabric of Oro Valley. The concerts also strengthen the local economy—bringing audiences into shops, restaurants, and gathering spaces while building community identity through shared experiences. Accessible to all, the Oro Valley Concert Series ensures that live music thrives as a unifying force that inspires, connects, and sustains.
