The City of Toledo, in partnership with ConnecToledo, Metroparks Toledo, and community partners, announced today that Toledo is one step closer to bringing a free, neighborhood-centered music series to four Toledo parks beginning in 2026. The proposal has advanced to the public voting phase of the Levitt Music Series Grant competition, a national program that supports vibrant, community-driven outdoor concerts nationwide.
If selected, Toledo could receive up to $120,000 over three years to host an annual Levitt Music Series, featuring 7–10 free outdoor concerts with local artists across diverse music genres.
