Palatine Park Announces Free Summer 2026 Lineup

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on February 16, 2026

Here is the lineup for this year's Palatine Park free summer entertainment schedule at the facility on Everest Drive in Fairmont, bordering the Monongahela River in the city's downtown. As noted all events are free.
  • Three Rivers Festival Thursday, May 21 through Saturday May 23.  We have another great event lined up which includes The Rick K Riad Show and Viva Las Elvis featuring national award winning tribute artist Dan Fontaine & Memphis Sun Mafia on Friday, May 22 and a couple of party bands on Saturday before the annual Three Rivers fireworks display.  
  • On Saturday June 6 we have Matt Mullins & The Bringdowns opening for Amoricans - The Black Crows Tribute.
  • On Saturday, June 13 we have a couple of up and coming original bands with Nashville's high-flying jamband Airshow opening for Columbus, Ohio's psychedelic rock band BareFuzz.  This show will be a breath of fresh air for folks looking for a break from the tributes and something  with original songwriting.  
  • On Saturday, June 27 we're back with one of the biggest tribute shows we've ever done.  Last year we lost a music icon in Ozzy Osbourne.  Immediately,  people were screaming for an Ozzy tribute.  These days it's nearly impossible to throw together something like that in the window we had so it got added to this year's schedule.   Crazy Train - America's Ozzy Experience is doing an entire night of all of Ozzy's hits from Black Sabbath to Mama, I'm Coming Home.  This should be a big one.
  • This year July 4 is on a Saturday and we're taking advantage of it.  It wouldn't have felt right without Byron "Six-Six" Cooper opening and hosting and Motorcycle Drive-By getting the party started before Nightrain- The Guns & Roses Experience rocks until our annual Independence Day fireworks display.   We had these guys  back in 2022 and it was crazy.  We wanted to bring that same energy to North Central West Virginia's Biggest Independence Day Party. 
  • On Saturday, July 11 we have our Johnnie Johnson Jam.  We teamed back up with Aristotle Jones from our Sounds Good series to help us honor one of Fairmont's Finest, the late, great Johnnie Johnson.  Aristotle put together a special tribute set to start things off followed by the PennSOULvanians, Heavy Hitters and Washington D.C.'s Everyday Everybody who will headline this year's event with their signature mix of funk, soul, Jazz and afrofunk.  
  • Saturday July 25 is so big we can't even talk about it until April other than to say we have two bands lined up and neither are tribute bands.
  • On Saturday, August 8 we have switch things up with Disciple of the Garden - The Legacy of Chris Cornell opening for In The End, -Linkin Park Experience. Both of these bands will be paying tribute to some of the best music made in the late 80's through the 2000's.  
  • We finish up the season on Saturday, August 22 with Hollywood Nights - America's Bob Seger Experience. 2 sets of Bob Seger's biggest hits to round out our summer concert series.
