About the Band

The Green Bay City Band performs free concerts every summer for hundreds of Green Bay residents. The concerts are held Wednesday nights from June through August at St. James Park, 801 South Madison Street. Admission is always free — no tickets, no reservations.

The band has been a summer fixture in the community since 1902. Under the direction of Greg Sauve, the band performs marches, Broadway favorites, big band classics, movie themes, and original arrangements.

Our history

Founded in 1902 by M.J. Heynen, the Green Bay City Band has been performing every summer for over 120 years — through two world wars, a pandemic, and countless Wednesday evenings in St. James Park. It is one of the oldest continuously performing community bands in the United States.
