Celebrating 160 Years!

Thanks to our audiences for 160 great years!

To Our Loyal Concert Goers:

Dear Friends;

It is with great sadness that we must recognize the toll that COVID-19 has taken on all public gatherings, including our Summer Concert Season in Naperville’s Central Park. As much as we love Naperville and playing music for you, and as heartbreaking as this decision is, your health and safety must come first. We therefore must cancel all concerts in June and in July through July 16th. At this time, we are leaving open the hope that a change in the public health situation could allow us all to gather again in Central Park later this summer. Until we can meet again, please enjoy rebroadcasts of our classic concerts at our usual time, 7:30 pm Thursdays, thanks to NCTV17, from the safety and comfort of your own home or yard. Please follow us on Facebook, , and at www.napervilleband.org.

NCTV17 is proud to be the summer home for the Naperville Municipal Band (NMB). Viewers can watch encore performances of the NMB in two ways on NCTV17. First, on TV on Channel 17 on both Comcast and WOW! and Channel 99 on AT&T. NCTV17 is only available on cable television. Second, is online at NCTV17.com where the channel is streamed live and available via on-demand video. All band concerts will be shown on Thursdays at 7:30pm.
