This Summer’s Porch Concert Series Just Got Even More Exciting!
In addition to the fantastic live music coming from various porches, this year’s series will feature two lively activities celebrating the performing arts.
Dance in the Streets!
Get ready to move! On any given evening, visitors and guests are invited to join the fun and dance in the streets. Whether you're a seasoned stepper or just want to try something new, join the Line Dancers as they show off their toe-tapping moves to the rhythm of the music. Strut your stuff alongside our local dancers—or simply enjoy the show as they groove to the beat, country-style!
Surprise Flash Mob – August Concert
Don’t miss the August Porch Concert! At some point during the evening, you'll witness a surprise Flash Mob—a spontaneous burst of coordinated dancing from people right in the crowd. We won’t spoil the surprise with details, but be ready for a magical moment of community spirit, rhythm, and fun.
Come for the music, stay for the dancing—and make memories all summer long!
