LIVE ON THE BANKS!

CITY OF OWENSBORO ANNOUNCES RETURN OF LIVE MUSIC SERIES AT SMOTHERS PARK

The City of Owensboro is proud to announce the return of Live on the Banks to downtown Owensboro. This free outdoor concert series showcases a variety of music groups from across the region to the Ohio riverfront for the community to enjoy every Saturday night from May 21 through September 24, 2016. 

 

New in 2016 is a second location at the Allen Street Gazebo in Smothers Park. Along with the main stage, additional artists will play at the Allen Street Gazebo every Saturday night. The gazebo will also be home to Pickin’ in the Park on the last Saturday of each month. Pickin’ in the Park evolved in 2014 when local groups wanted to join the festivities with acoustic music. We invite any local bands that want to play unplugged in the park to join us for the Pickin’ in the Park nights.

 

Live on the Banks will take place at the River Overlook Stage, as well as the Allen Street Gazebo, in Smothers Park Saturdays from 7-9pm. A lineup of the bands performing each week can be

seen at www.liveonthebanks.com.
