“We’re so excited to bring this event back to Pack Square Park, where the energy and excitement of the community come alive through great music and local flavor,” said Hayden Plemmons, Executive Director of the Asheville Downtown Association. “This concert not only highlights incredible talent but also gives us a chance to showcase the amazing local food vendors, and artists that make our Downtown so special.”
“The thing that I love about playing a big, free show on Pack Square is that it gives us all an opportunity to come together and have a great time. We need that now more than ever. Hopefully this year we can bring in a lot of folks from out town to come stay the weekend, eat in our restaurants, have a beer, buy some artwork and help Asheville get back on our feet” - Graham Sharp, Steep Canyon Rangers
In addition to the music, the Community Concert will also feature a variety of local food vendors, a marketplace with unique handmade goods, and a gear swap presented by Second Gear, giving attendees the chance to exchange gently used outdoor gear.
