Landry Vineyard Concerts kick off the season with a delightful fusion of music and wine against the picturesque backdrop of rolling vineyards. Sip on fine wine while tapping your feet to live tunes from Code Blue & the Flatliners (April 13), Lisa Spann & Company (April 27), and Hands on Band (May 11). And stop by on Lagniappe Weekends for more fun with music, tours, and tastings.

For those craving a laid-back ambiance, Thirsty Farmer’s Spring Sip & Shop offers a charming setting where local musicians Danny Lee & Dave fill the air with melodies, accompanied by artisanal beverages and delectable bites. It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy the afternoon breeze, while shopping with local artisans.

Pack your lunch and head to the Brown Bag Concerts for a midday musical interlude. These free concerts provide a delightful escape from the hustle and bustle, offering a moment of tranquility amidst the urban landscape. In April, head to Palace Park in Downtown Monroe for a concert series sponsored by the NELA Arts Council. In May, the fun continues at Seventh Square Pavilion in West Monroe with concerts sponsored by the West Monroe-West Ouachita Chamber of Commerce. Each series takes place on Wednesdays at noon.

But wait, there's more! Mark your calendars for the Ouachita Riverfest where music, art, and good vibes collide by the beautiful Ouachita River. Get ready for art, local makers, fishing tournament, duck drop, and live performances from Amanda Shaw, Chubby Carrier, and more!

Cap off your springtime music journey with Ouachita Live, a series of outdoor concerts on the last Friday of each month from March-October in Downtown West Monroe’s Alley Park. Artists this year include Amanda Show, Mathias Lattin, and Bruce Sunpie Barnes to name a few!
