Prince Tribute Heads to Wayne Ferguson Plaza This Tuesday as Sounds of Lewisville Rolls On

Free Tuesday Night Concerts Continue at Wayne Ferguson Plaza

The Sounds of Lewisville summer concert series has been planting itself in Old Town every Tuesday night since 1991, and the 2026 edition keeps the streak going. This Tuesday, June 23, the plaza hosts “Purple Day,” a Prince tribute set performed by Sunny Disposition. Showtime is 7:00 p.m., with music running through 9:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Wayne Ferguson Plaza sits in the heart of Old Town Lewisville, making it walkable from several surrounding streets and easy to reach by car with nearby parking. The series is presented by Mosquito Joe — worth noting if you have opinions about summer evenings in North Texas.

What to Bring, What to Expect

The city encourages attendees to bring blankets and lawn chairs. Well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome, so the Tuesday night crowd at the plaza tends to look less like a conventional concert audience and more like a neighborhood gathering that happens to have a stage in the middle of it. There is no ticket counter, no wristband line, and no admission fee at any point in the series.

Sunny Disposition’s Prince tribute gives the June 23 show a specific identity. Prince’s catalog — spanning funk, R&B, rock, and pop across four decades — translates well to an outdoor summer format, and tribute acts focused on his material typically draw audiences who know the songs well enough to stay engaged through the full set.

The Rest of the Series: One More Big Date to Mark

If June 23 works up an appetite for more, the series closes on July 1 with “Red, White & Lewisville,” headlined by Texas Flood. That show also starts at 6:30 p.m. at Wayne Ferguson Plaza and adds a drone show along with low-level fireworks launched from the roof of the Lewisville Grand Theater directly after the set. It functions as the city’s primary pre-Independence Day event for Old Town and draws a significantly larger crowd than a standard Tuesday night.

Texas Flood is a Stevie Ray Vaughan tribute act with deep roots in the DFW live music circuit. Pairing that act with fireworks over Old Town on July 1 is a deliberate programming choice — the combination has proven reliable for drawing residents who might not otherwise make a Tuesday night concert a habit.

Context: A Series Built on Consistency

The longevity of Sounds of Lewisville — running continuously since 1991 — is itself a point of civic identity. Most free municipal concert series in suburban DFW have come and gone over the same period. The format at Wayne Ferguson Plaza has remained essentially unchanged: a weekly Tuesday show, no cost, family-friendly, pets allowed, bring your own seating. That consistency is part of what makes it a reliable summer anchor for residents rather than a novelty.

The plaza itself, situated in Old Town along the corridors that house Lewisville’s older commercial and restaurant district, benefits from foot traffic before and after shows. Arriving early is practical both for securing a good spot on the grass and for grabbing food nearby before 7:00 p.m.
