Summer Concerts in the Park

Thursday evening Concerts in the Park, sponsored by the Banner Elk Chamber of Commerce, are a popular summer activity showcasing well-known local and regional bands.

The free concerts take place at the amphitheater at Tate-Evans Town Park. The fun dance music — from Southern rock to oldies, ’70s, ’80s, soul, country and funk — is appropriate for all ages. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or a blanket to enjoy the music under the evening stars.

Food, beer and wine vendors are on hand. Small picnic coolers are allowed, and beverages should be in plastic cups. Pets are not allowed in the amphitheater seating area. However, pets and owners often enjoy the music while sitting or picnicking in the adjacent park.

On show nights, the parking lot opens at 6 p.m. and music begins at 6:30 p.m.
