After being shut down for over a year due to Covid, Belmont’s popular ‘Friday Night Live’ concert series is finally back.
The 2021 schedule includes three concerts held on various Fridays in July and August. The concerts will be held on South Main Street adjacent to Stowe Park at a new time for the 2021 season, from 7:00pm to 11:00pm. The evenings will kick off with the opening of the beverage garden and music by DJ Eric Bowman. The featured bands will begin performing at 8:00pm. S. Main Street will be closed beginning at 2:00 pm on concert days, so please plan accordingly.
The Downtown Belmont Development Association (DBDA) is thrilled to announce the return of the series after being unable to host the events last Summer because of the pandemic. After receiving overwhelming feedback from the community and seeing gathering restrictions lifted, it was time to revive the popular concert series for everyone to enjoy.
Downtown Belmont debuted its first 2021 concert on July 3rd at the annual Red, White, and Belmont celebration. It featured “The Breakfast Club”, dubbed America’s favorite 1980’s tribute band. Attendees danced the night away and enjoyed all the festivities, including a spectacular firework show. It was an amazing turnout from the community. We received feedback that approximately 10,000 people were present in downtown for the event.
“We’ve never seen a crowd like this before. It was great to see the community come together and have Main Street back in action”, said Downtown Director Phil Boggan. “We hope this will be a catalyst for attendance at this year’s Friday Night Live”, Phil added.
