Rocky Wall Entertainment is a Minnesota 501(c)(3) nonprofit public charity organization established for the purpose of producing high quality live Americana Music outdoor concerts, house concerts and events in the City of Silver Bay and on Lake Superior's North Shore. We are also committed to providing resources to assist in the design, construction and operation of an outdoor performance stage in a new City Center Park in Silver Bay, MN.

In our first four years of operation, Rocky Wall Productions successfully produced twenty-nine very successful live outdoor concerts attracting nearly 12,800 attendees.

We continue to receive positive feedback from the community and visitors alike. People have been attracted to downtown Silver Bay on late summer Friday nights, and we have created awareness of the emerging City Center Park.

In 2025, we will enter our fifth season under the new name Rocky Wall Entertainment. We once again look forward to providing eight late summer free Friday night concerts known as the Silver Bay Music in the Park Concert Series, seven ticketed Saturday evening Rocky Wall Benefit House Concerts featuring the visiting musicians in a more intimate setting, and working with the community on design concepts for a new SIlver Bay City Center Park and Amphitheater.
