Visitors to Saturday’s Mountain Laurel Festival in Clarkesville can keep the party going after the festival ends by heading south to Cornelia. On May 21, Cornelia’s Hospitality & Tourism Board will host a free, live country music concert featuring Neal McCoy. The concert is scheduled from 5-10 p.m. with opening acts, the Joe Higgins Band, Fred Anderson, and Mason Parker.
This is McCoy’s second visit to Cornelia: He performed during the city’s free concert series in 2018.
The concert will be held in the same venue as in years past at 301 South Main Street, just down from City Hall. There is no permanent seating at the venue, so bring your chairs and money for food and drinks. There will be food vendors set up at the site.
The City of Cornelia Road Department will close six downtown roads near the concert venue to accommodate pedestrian traffic. These roads will be closed at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 21:
- Berry Street
- Oak Street
- Dolson Street
- Skyland Drive
- Chambers Ave
- Ellis Street
Organizers say these roads will remain closed until the concert venue is empty of spectators.
