Ketchum Is Now Recruiting For The Return of Ketch'em Alive This Summer

                The city is looking for bands and vendors to participate in the 2026 season; now is the time to reach out if you want to participate.

Ketchum’s high-energy, free, summer concert series, Ketch’em Alive, is officially returning for 2026. This weekly community tradition brings live music, local food, and a vibrant "town picnic" atmosphere to Forest Service Park every Tuesday night throughout the summer. This year’s series is scheduled to run on June 16 through August 4. The city is currently recruiting vendors and bands to participate in this year's lineup. Needed is a diverse mix of regional and national talent—ranging from folk and soul to rock and R&B—along with local food and beverage vendors to serve concertgoers.

Full season details, including the specific band lineup and local partners, will be officially released in Spring 2026. Those interested in serving food or beverages can fill out the vendor application form at ketchumidaho.org/node/49173/webform/configure. For questions regarding band or vendor inquiries, please contact Dawn Hofheimer at Dhofheimer@ketchumidaho.org.
