Tickets are now on sale for the 26th annual Rotary Music Festival, which will be held Thursday July 2, at the Cedarburg High School Athletic Field at 7:30 p.m.
World-class drum and bugle corps competing in the event include the Blue Stars of La Crosse, WI, the Madison Scouts of Madison, WI, and The Cavaliers of Rosemont, IL. Kicking off the show will be a performance by the Eclipse, a SoundSport team from Indianapolis, IN.
The music festival, which is part of the 2026 Drum Corps International summer tour, has been a popular local event for more than a quarter century, drawing thousands of fans and raising nearly $1.2 million for the Rotary Club of Cedarburg-Grafton, which hosts the event. The club is a service organization that donates the proceeds for local and international causes.
“Every year, we get nearly 50 sponsors and more than 1,000 spectators in the grandstand,” said festival chairman Layton Olsen. “The funds we’ve raised are given back to the community for a variety of worthy causes while providing world-class entertainment that is easily accessible to local residents.”
For the first time, this year each of the world-class corps will present special encore performances after the completion of their competitive show.
All seats are reserved so advanced tickets are encouraged to get the best seats in the house. Ticket prices start at $25 and can be ordered at www.dci.org. Discounts for groups of 20 or more are available by calling 317-275-1212.
