The fourth annual Hilbert Music Festival is set to take center stage on Friday July 10, Saturday July 11, and Sunday July 12 at Civic Park

This 19-member jazz ensemble, conducted by Shawn Postell, is the premier big band in northeast Wisconsin. Featured vocalists will also add flavor to the group.
