NHPR is teaming up with City Year New Hampshire and the City of Manchester to support an exciting opportunity to bring a free, live outdoor music series to downtown Manchester.

The city is a semifinalist for the Levitt AMP Grant, a multi-year matching grant that funds outdoor concerts in small to mid-sized communities across the U.S. If selected, Manchester would host a family-friendly concert series in Veterans Park beginning in 2026, featuring diverse musical acts, local performers, and cultural programming that celebrates the city’s vibrant spirit and community.

Community support is a key part of advancing to the final round of the grant competition.

Here’s how to vote (one vote per person):

  • Text MANCHNH to 877-409-5525
  • Or vote online at levitt.org/vote — register and select Manchester, NH

Voting is open now through Monday, September 15 at 8:00 p.m.

NHPR, City Year NH and the City of Manchester make live music a summer tradition in downtown Manchester!

For more information, contact Jen Little at City Year New Hampshire: jlittle@cityyear.org or (603) 218-5125.
