The Levitt AMP Middlesboro Music Series returns for the second year to the Levitt AMP Middlesboro Pop-Up Park—downtown Middlesboro’s increasingly vibrant green space that was formerly a vacant, gravel lot—to augment the city’s community-driven revitalization of its economically challenged downtown, encouraging further community investment in the arts and promoting Middlesboro as a cultural destination.
The Levitt AMP Middlesboro Music Series is supported in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a private family foundation that empowers towns and cities across America to transform neglected public spaces into thriving destinations through the power of free, live music. In 2016, more than 450 free Levitt concerts will take place in 21 towns and cities, all featuring a rich array of music genres and high caliber talent. Learn more at levitt.org.
So bring a lawn chair, a picnic dinner, and enjoy an evening of free live music among friends and neighbors at the Levitt AMP Middlesboro Park, just off of Fountain Square in downtown Middlesboro. Opening acts start at 6pm and headliners go on at 7pm. See you at the show!
