Manchester, NH

Activating Veteran’s Memorial Park with free, live music, the Levitt AMP Manchester Music Series, presented by City Year New Hampshire, is creating a vibrant civic gathering space in the heart of New Hampshire’s largest city.

 

From longtime residents to new arrivals drawn to its revitalized downtown and growing arts scene, Manchester’s population of roughly 116,000 reflects a mosaic of cultures and communities. The Levitt AMP Manchester Music Series celebrates and reflects this energy by showcasing regional talent, local artists, and cultural performances that highlight the city’s creative momentum and shared pride.

Held in historic Veteran’s Memorial Park—adjacent to the revitalized Millyard and just steps from the city’s main thoroughfare—the series reimagines a centrally located green space as a lively summer destination for free, family-friendly concerts that draw residents from neighborhoods across the city. By increasing positive foot traffic, supporting nearby businesses, and fostering informal gathering across generations and cultures, Levitt AMP Manchester is strengthening social connection and reinforcing the importance of vibrant public places in Manchester’s urban core.
