Labor Day used to mark the end of a busy season is Highlands but, oh, how the times have changed. Some things still close down, for instance the popular Saturdays on Pine concerts end on Labor Day weekend, but don’t despair, because there’s still live music to be
heard downtown.
The ever-popular Saturdays on Pine at the Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park drew their biggest crowds yet this year with a great line-up of popular bands. Labor Day weekend marks the last such concert of this season, so make plans now to go out and enjoy the show on Saturday, September 1, by The Kind Thieves, a Jam/Americana band.
Pack a picnic or pick up a to-go order at a nearby restaurant, bring your lawn chairs or blankets, and come dance the night away, or simply sit back, relax and let the sounds carry you away. The show starts at 6:00 P.M.
While Saturdays on Pine are winding up for the season, Friday Night Live at Town Square is just hitting its stride and will continue to delight crowds with concerts through mid-October. Shows start at 6:00 P.M. and the September lineup is a great one, bringing back bands that have delighted crowds throughout the season. On Friday, September 7, Curtis Blackwell and The Bluegrass Boys will take the stage; September 14, crowd favorite The Johnny Webb Band returns for a show; September 21 will feature the Mountain Dulcimer Group; and September 28, the Silly Ridge Roundup closes out the month.
Visitors and locals alike appreciate the chance to gather downtown on Friday nights and enjoy the sounds of traditional mountain music at Friday Night Live.
