Good morning Nina. Chicago has a great concert series every Saturday night all summer long. Due to the chaos and crime not well attended. We stopped attending years ago. Several other music offerings in various neighborhoods are well attended. Enjoy your day.

Wayne Martin good morning, Wayne... so many of the town surrounding the City of Charlotte have outdoor summer concerts that are free... fortunately, no chaos or crime here in this regard.

Good morning, Nina.
Nothing says summer quite like lawn chairs, live music, and not having to cook dinner.

I would enjoy an event like this!  I can picture myself with some BBQ, perhaps a glass of wine, relaxing and listening to some good music!

These sort of events are always popular, we just went to a Jazz event locally on Sunday, a great afternoon, with wonderful music and musicians. We met friends and then went for dinner afterwards. Great community events build the town and make the people want to stay.

Nick Vandekar, 610-203-4543 that's exactly how it works here, as well. People are moving to Waxhaw in droves (so long as they can afford it these days).

Nina, watching live music is really fun, except when you have to sit in the sun.

Joan Cox, Retired Broker/Owner hi Joan... this particular event is in the evening so by the time it starts the sun is setting. It would be hard here to get the same crowds when the sun is out. Just too hot.

I would imagine.

Live bands are quite the draw, especially when they are really good and get people up on their feet to dance, Nina!

It is such good exercise. We hire several bands a year to show up and play for us and guests! 🎵🎶🎵

Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! hi Wanda... not sure how much room there is to dance as this venue gets pretty full... but I'm sure the Jimmy Buffet one will see some dancing.
