What a way to close out the 2026 Levitt AMP Wooster Concert Series! 🎶 Here’s a little recap from last night’s final concert with the Tartan Terrors!

And what a way to wrap it up! Tartan Terrors brought incredible energy to the stage and had the crowd dancing, clapping, and celebrating all night long. 🎻

From the very first concert to the final encore, it has been so much fun watching our community come together on Wednesday nights to enjoy live music, good company, and summer evenings in Wooster.
A huge thank you to for making this series possible once again, and to every artist, volunteer, sponsor, community partner, and concertgoer who helped make this summer so special.
Most of all, thank you to everyone who showed up week after week and made the 2026 series one to remember!
