Tuesday Summer Carillon Concerts through Aug. 4

Concert begins at 6 p.m. | Food trucks open at 5 p.m.

Join us each Tuesday evening, June 30-August 4 for an hour of relaxed outdoor performances featuring one of the most recognizable sounds of GVSU. Bring a lawn chair or spread a blanket in the beautiful heart of GVSU's Valley Campus, enjoy local food truck fare, and take in concerts from some of the top touring carillon performers in the nation.   

Open and covered listening spaces are available and concerts run rain or shine (barring severe weather). All performances are free, family-friendly, and open to the public. 

Students fill the Kirkhof Lawn as part of the Laker Kickoff on August 22.

The concert will take place 6-7 p.m. Food trucks will be available from 5–7 p.m.
