Music & Nightlife

DUE TO COVID-19, SOME VENUES MAY NOT BE OPEN.  PLEASE CALL AHEAD FOR CURRENT STATUS.

Downtown Music Venues

Live music can be found almost every day of the week in downtown Northfield, From Nordic, Irish, jazz, and bluegrass jam sessions to piano balladeers and original indie rock, you’ll find a thriving music scene in Music City, Minnesota. The Contented Cow hosts performers at their indoor or outdoor stage nearly every evening, and you’ll find Froggy Bottoms, and Reunion rocking most weekend nights. Check our calendar of events for listings.

The Grand Event Center

Northfield’s historic event facility and reception hall frequently offers musical acts and other shows for your enjoyment.

Music at Carleton

Compared to its neighbor across town, Carleton may not seem like a music powerhouse, but a third of all Carleton students are involved in musical activities, and musical events jam the campus calendar, to the tune of 150 concerts per year. Performances by student groups and guest musicians are nearly always free and open to the public.

Music at St. Olaf

Recitals, concerts and other musical events happen almost daily on the beautiful St. Olaf College campus, including the nationally televised St. Olaf Christmas Festival. St. Olaf is home to six choirs, two bands, and two full orchestras — including the internationally acclaimed St. Olaf Band, St. Olaf Choir, and St. Olaf Orchestra.
