The plaza is going to get loud! Lumberstock 2026 is on.
Okay, it is officially time to start summer planning the right way, so you can pull up to Chestnut Plaza, find your people, and let the bands do their thing. You will see friends you have not talked to in forever, meet new ones, and hear original sounds that actually hit. Bring good energy and be ready to yell the lyrics even if you just learned them.

So what is LumberStock?
Lumberstock is a live, local music gathering that brings together young bands, friends, families, and neighbors for a few hours of sound, energy, and connection. It gives youth musicians a real stage and a real audience, while creating an easy, welcoming way for the community to come together around music. No tickets. No barriers. Just people showing up to support creativity and each other.
Set against the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge at Chestnut Plaza, Lumberstock blends music, place, and community into something that feels special but relaxed. You can come for one band or stay for the whole show. Bring a chair, bring friends, or just wander through and listen. It is free, open to everyone, and built around the simple idea that live music is better when it is shared.
