“We try to build a lineup that offers something for everyone,” said Community Events and Engagement Coordinator Amy Shearin. “From tribute bands to high-energy party music and regional favorites, the goal is to showcase a variety of styles that keep each concert feeling fresh while bringing new audiences to Downtown Clayton throughout the season.”
Guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in for an evening of live entertainment. Concerts begin at 6:30 p.m., with activities starting at 6 p.m. Attendees can also enjoy food trucks, adult beverages, and interactive activities for kids, creating a fun and welcoming atmosphere for all ages.
“The concert series has become a summer tradition for our community,” said Shearin. “It’s a chance for friends and families to gather, discover new music, and spend time enjoying everything our downtown has to offer.”
