Highlands Outdoor Concerts
Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: May 2024
This month, the Highlands Chamber of Commerce is launching its 2024 season of free weekend concert fun. (Dancing is encouraged.)
This month (and running through October) Highlands’ seasonal soundtrack fills the air in downtown Highlands every Friday and Saturday night. Shows on both nights are free and take place from 6:00 to 8:30 P.M.
Friday Night Live showcases traditional mountain music and exceptional local talent on Main Street’s Town Square. The Friday night concerts are part of the Blue Ridge Music Trails of North Carolina, an initiative of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area Partnership and the N.C. Arts Council that works to sustain the rich music traditions of the region.
This month, the Friday Night Live season schedule is as follows:
May 17 – Silly Ridge
May 24 – McClain Family Band
May 31 – Byrds & Crows
Saturdays on Pine features a variety of popular, regional bands and musicians at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
Saturdays on Pine season schedule is as follows:
May 18 – Continental Divide
May 25 – Southside Station
The Outdoor Concert Series is made possible by the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC.
“Highlands thrives on community gatherings, live music, and the beauty of nature,” says Kaye McHan, the organization’s executive director. “Grab your lawn chair or blanket, pack a picnic basket, and join us!”
There will not be a Chamber presented concert on June 29, July 27, August 17 and August 24 due to other events being held at Kelsey Hutchinson Founders Park.
