The city of Gainesville has announced a new series of events, Hot Summer Nights, featuring live music and local vendors. The outdoor events will run on Wednesdays in July from 6 to 9 p.m.
The new series was inspired by the Blue Sky Concert Series, which offers live music on Wednesdays in May on the historic square in downtown Gainesville. The city has partnered with local vendors, artists, and pop-up shops to create the new Hot Summer Nights series. A different charity will be showcased each week.
“Hot Summer Nights are all about celebrating our hometown, with homegrown fun!” said Main Street Manager Nicole Parham. “As the sun goes down, head downtown for dinner, shopping and live music. If you want to hang out for a while, plan to bring your own lawn chairs or picnic blankets, or snag a spot on a bench in the park.”
Attendees can enjoy music from local North Georgia artists beginning each week at 7 p.m.
Three downtown parking decks will offer free and covered parking. Anyone interested in sponsoring the event can purchase a $1,000 Hometown Hero package or a $250 Shop Local Sponsor package.
