Trophy Point is the heart of summer at West Point, where the sound of the West Point Band carries across the Hudson as the sun sets behind the mountains. From June through September 2026, the Trophy Point Concert Series turns the historic amphitheater into a gathering place for cadets, families, graduates, and neighbors who come to share an evening of free live music under the open sky. As twilight falls, the band steps onto the Trophy Point amphitheater stage, transforming a historic Army landmark into one of the most memorable outdoor music venues in the region.
2026 Trophy Point Concert dates
From the road‑trip‑themed opener to the season closing Labor Day celebration, the series is built to give audiences a reason to come back again and again. Some nights invite dancing to the Benny Havens Band, while others spotlight the power and precision of the concert band in one of the Academy’s most iconic settings.
A community tradition, free and open to all
For many in the Hudson Valley, Trophy Point concerts are a standing date on the calendar: a chance to introduce children to West Point, to reconnect with fellow graduates, or simply to enjoy world class music without leaving the neighborhood. The series is also a living expression of the Academy’s relationship with the American public, offering a relaxed way to experience the cadet environment and the Army’s story through music.
All Trophy Point Concert Series events are free and open to the public, with no tickets required. Visitors will be required to check in at the Visitor Control Center to be issued local access credentials to gain entry to the installation, if they do not already have one.
