The final Sunday Funday of the 2026 Silo Season features a live performance as performers take the stage for one last show to close out the season.

Wednesday Night Live at Camp Aramoni pairs live music with a fast casual lineup of appetizers, salads, pizzas, handhelds, desserts, and drinks. Performances typically happen on the deck overlooking the Vermilion River, with both indoor and outdoor seating available, and everything moves inside if it rains. This edition spotlights Dan Blanchette, a Milwaukee native now based in Wenona, bringing an acoustic pop and rock set built around 90s and 00s favorites, with touches of Red Dirt country, classic rock, Americana, and well-loved hits from the 1950s to today. There is no cover. Dining is first come, first served unless a reservation is made for parties of 10 or more. Guests are seated by staff on the deck, indoors, or near the pavilion, and those who prefer to simply listen are welcome to bring lawn chairs. Entrees generally range from $10 to $18, and a kids menu features cheese quesadillas, cheese pizza, and mini cheeseburgers for $9. Gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options are available, prepared in a single kitchen, and halal or kosher requests cannot be accommodated. The menu changes with the seasons and weekly specials highlight fresh ingredients. Tabs left open are subject to a 20 percent gratuity, and groups of six or more are placed on one check with the same automatic gratuity. The series runs on Wednesday nights from mid May through October, and ordering food is optional for those who want to relax with drinks and enjoy the music.
