Knights on the Fox summer concert series
The popular outdoor summer concert series, “Knights on the Fox,” returns for its tenth season on the St. Norbert College campus. The five-week series will be held Tuesday evenings beginning July 10 and ending with the last show on August 7. All five concerts continued to be free and open to the public.
The concert series features live music in a casual atmosphere along the banks of the Fox River. Carry in your own picnic—or purchase sandwiches, hotdogs, popcorn, ice cream, bottled water, soda, beer or wine on site. The picnics begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by the concerts from 6:30-8 p.m.
Come by land or by water! The docks at the Thompson Marina will be open. Ample parking is available in the lots off of Third Street, with handicapped parking in the lot near Old St. Joseph Church. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and join us for another summer of great music and fun!
Concerts will be canceled by 3 p.m. the day of the concert in the event of rain. Cancellations will be posted on this website.

More information
The Knights on the Fox concert series was established to expand the outside community's connection with St. Norbert College in hopes of encouraging more participation in college events, familiarizing members of the community with the campus and its programs, and providing opportunities for neighbors of the college to socialize and get to know one another.
Since 2003, St. Norbert College has hosted the summer concert series and watched its popularity with our neighbors continue to grow each season.
