Madera County Arts Authority schedules May 1 kickoff for 2026 courthouse park concert series
Summary
The board confirmed a 2026 summer concert series at Madera County Courthouse Park beginning May 1, featuring a Mariachi kickoff, comedy night, a Taco Throwdown and sponsorship support for entertainment costs.
The Madera County Arts Authority announced plans for its 2026 summer concert series at Courthouse Park, with organizers aiming to repeat the previous season’s turnout and community programming.
A board member said the series will start May 1 with a Mariachi performance organized with the school district, and will include a comedy night, a July music series, an August Taco Throwdown and seasonal events leading to a Christmas tree lighting in December. “May 1. Don’t forget,” the board member said.
Organizers reported a sponsorship from “Choc Chancy Gold and Resort Casino” to help underwrite entertainment costs; planning details and specific acts remain being finalized. The series will include food and family entertainment and organizers said they hope to broaden the demographic reach compared with last year.
The board encouraged continued staff coordination and community outreach to maximize attendance and community partnerships; no formal vote was required for the programming update.
Next steps: event committee to finalize lineup, vendors and permits; board members asked staff to publicize dates and sponsorship details once contracts are confirmed.
