Summer 2026 Music on the Green
July 6, 2026 – Music on the Green continues its 36th season this weekend as the Mariposa County Arts Council presents another round of free live performances at the Mariposa County Art Park in downtown Mariposa.
The Jespersons return to the Art Park stage for Music on the Green on Friday, July 10. The Jespersons are a local folk duo, often accompanied by a special guest percussionist, banjo, or ukulele... You never know who might join in on a Jespersons set! The band is composed of partners Jared (guitar, mandolin, vocal) and Kaye Jesperson (cello, vocals), presenting a folk, Americana, jazz fusion. Their repertoire consists of original music, and classic standards that span across many genres.

On Saturday, July 11, local band JNX will bring their rocking family band to Music on the Green. The band specializes in hard rock hair band covers from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. They might even have an original or two up their sleeve. Whatever the case may be, these guys put on a show!
JNX to perform on Saturday, July 11, 2026
Performances begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Mariposa County Art Park, located at 5013 Hwy 140 in historic downtown Mariposa. Parking is available along 4th and 5th Streets, with accessible pedestrian access via the lower 5th Street parking lot through the Mariposa Creek Parkway entry.
