LIVE MUSIC AT OAK CENTER

Our concert schedule runs from October through April and we pride ourselves in offering the best live music you can find in southeastern MN. The acoustics in our 90-year-old community hall are top notch, and the atmosphere leads to some great discussions and social time.

While you are here, you can enjoy organic popcorn, home-baked cookies, natural sodas, waters, coffee & beer. Before concerts and during intermission, you can shop in the Oak Center General Store to stock up on organic foods or the many other interesting and useful treasures you may find.

TICKET SALES

Tickets are sold in advance at the door or through the mail, and are reasonably priced at $15 regular price to $5 low income. We accept what you are able to afford. We take cash and checks, and your generosity makes each and every concert possible. To purchase through the mail, please make your check out to folk forum, write the number of tickets you would like, and which concert you would like to attend on the memo portion of the check. You will be entered in our guest ledger and will only need to give your name at the front counter. Purchasing tickets in advance is easy, really helps us plan for a concert by letting us know how many guests we will have, and greatly reduces lines and time at the front counter. If you are for some reason unable to make it, and we are notified early enough that we can resell your tickets, you may transfer your tickets to another show or stop in to pick up a refund.

Reservations will be taken only if there is still room 2 days before a concert. It can be done over the phone or by e-mailing folkforum@riverland.org. . Please make reservations only if you are certain you are coming and will call in the event you are not able to make it. Reservations will be held up until 20 minutes prior to a sold out show.

We take great pride in keeping our overhead low so we can give the performers as much as possible.

Thank you for your support!
