Hot August Night, Cool Cave Music

at Onondaga Cave State Park

8/1/2026 | Onondaga Cave State Park | Leasburg, Mo.

Escape the summer heat by joining us in the 57-degree depths of Onondaga Cave for this cool concert! St. Louis' own Flea Bitten Dawgs will perform in the Big Room of the cave on Saturday, Aug. 1.

Formed in 2010, this dynamic ukulele-driven folk duo has toured across 10 states, been featured in a PBS mini-documentary, and captured hearts with their soulful rhythms and viral covers. Bring your favorite folding chair, layer up for the crisp cave air, and join us deep underground for an evening of incredible music and unmatched acoustics!
