About Rhythm on the Rails
Rhythm on the Rails is a FREE, seven-week outdoor concert series, that takes place on Wednesday nights from June, July and August. Each nightly concert runs from 6:00-9:00 pm on Lewis Street in Downtown Shakopee. Our annual Rhythm on the Rails features top-notch live music, family fun & games, food and brew vendors, and so much more!
