Community.
It means different things to different people, but in Cashiers there is a place that embodies community, The Village Green and Village Commons, where Cashiers comes to play.
Few events are as anticipated and attended as the Groovin’ on the Green concerts sponsored by the Greater Cashiers Area Merchants Association. Concerts are held every Friday night from June through early September at the Village Commons on Frank Allen Road (next to the Post Office, but please no parking at the Post Office).
Here you will find music lovers of all ages settling in to enjoy a night of musical delights under the stars. Each concert marks the chance to join your neighbors and enjoy the easy spirit of a community, unwinding after a hectic week. Come with your friends or make new ones.
The shows start at 6:30 P.M. and the music varies from week to week. You will hear everything from blues, bluegrass, jazz, folk, country, and Americana to pop and rock. Some of the artists on slate this year are Julie Gribble Band, Hurricane Creek Band, Tellico, Erica Nichole, Josh Lasher Band, Dane Michael Group, Jackson Taylor Band, and Rockell Scott and Friends.
Concerts are held rain or shine and admission is free (but donations are appreciated). Bring your lawn chairs, kids, dogs, guests, friends, and family and join the toe tappin’ fun. Don’t forget to pack a picnic and bring a cooler with your favorite beverages.
If you don’t have time to plan ahead and prepare a picnic, just stop at one of the local eateries and order a to-go meal. We’ll see you on the Green.
