The live music scene in lakes country is more popular than ever and the variety of unique venues, from historic former hospitals and churches to arena settings has multiplied. Ottertail is capitalizing on that love for live music, with concerts indoors and out.
Ottertail Business and Community Association recently purchased new picnic table seating for city park, adding capacity for community events like OtterFest. These benches make changing configurations for the popular outdoor concerts a breeze. Music in the Park concerts begin in June with new performers almost every week. Cover bands and favorite musicians own the stage. The oompa pulse of Polka Daze in September draws in five different bands for the 3-day festival. This polka party welcomes dancers and campers to the event.
Located just a block away, the Williams Company Store features live performers as well. Music lovers stay hydrated with tempting choices from the business’ new cocktail menu. These signature drinks compliment the wine and beer selections, unique soft drink choices and barista-made coffee beverages. Hungry after the performance? Hot and cold sandwiches and salads are available to eat onsite or to go.
The Otter Supper Club and Lodge combines a stellar menu with live music outdoors and inside. Music on the patio combines comfortable seating with table service. They have a steady schedule of local bands playing, pairing the music with mouth watering meal specials like prime rib and seafood selections. When the band is finished for the night, no need to drive home. Make it an overnight music lovers getaway and take advantage of their guest accommodations.
Perhaps you have a particular band or DJ in mind for that special event coming up. Thumper Pond in Ottertail City provides the perfect venue for wedding dances. Catering, cocktails, then cha cha – this is a gorgeous setting, inside and outside, for bridal parties, marriage ceremonies, and receptions.
