Happy Friday, Antioch!


I’m excited to officially share our 2026 “It’s Thursday” Summer Concert Series lineup - and we’re kicking things off in a big way this year!


On June 11, we’re bringing in a nationally recognized 90’s rock band, Everclear, to headline our kickoff concert at the Bandshell. This is a free, all-ages show and a great way to start the summer together as a community. Learn more here.


Each year, we’re working to make this series bigger and better, and I couldn’t be more proud that we continue to bring nationally recognized talent right here to Antioch. We’ve mixed it up the last few years with country and southern rock - so this year, it’s time for a little 90’s rock for everyone.


Also coming up next weekend - don’t forget about our Easter Parade and Egg Hunt! The Parade kicks off next Saturday, April 4 at 10:30 a.m. and the Egg Hunts follow immediately after at the Bandshell. Event details and registration can be found here. You can sign up and purchase wristbands now, so be sure to get registered and join us for a great family event.


As we gear up for summer, we’re also hiring lifeguards, summer camp staff, and other part-time positions at the Antioch Aqua Center. If you or someone you know is looking for a great summer employment opportunity, please check out our website for openings. 


Thanks again to everyone who continues to support our events, our local businesses, and everything that makes Antioch such a great place to live.


And as always… it’s that time of year - let’s hope we see one of our teams make it all the way in the March Madness season!


Lastly, I want to wish a Happy Passover to all those who celebrate, beginning Wednesday, April 1. Wishing you and your families a meaningful and joyful holiday.


Have a great weekend, Antioch!
