Merchant Street Music Fest is not the only weekend to enjoy live outdoor music. Join us all summer long at Festival Square’s Hill Stage for free live performances.
This is a free event. Lawn chairs or blankets are recommended for seating.
Concerts will take place rain or shine. If it is raining, the show will move to the Depot patio near the Hill Stage. Please enter on the north end by the Train Car.
