Weaverville's Music on Main

Weaverville's Music on Main

Music on Main is a beloved annual tradition in Weaverville, described as a free, open-air, one-night street concert and community festival. It transforms a section of South Main Street into a vibrant celebration, typically held on a Saturday evening in mid-June. For 2025, it's scheduled for Saturday, June 14th, usually running from the late afternoon (around 4:00 or 5:00 PM) until about 9:00 PM.  

Location & Setup:
The event takes place right on South Main Street in front of Weaverville Town Hall (30 S. Main St). To accommodate the festival, Main Street is closed to traffic between Brown Street and Merrimon Avenue for several hours before, during, and after the event. The music stage is set up near Town Hall. Free parking is typically available nearby, often highlighted at Weaverville Primary School.  

What's Happening:

Live Music: The main attraction is the music! Usually, three bands perform throughout the evening, featuring talented local and regional acts. Past genres have included a mix of Americana, folk, jam bands, rock, soul, Appalachian roots, and more, offering something for various tastes. Attendees often bring folding chairs or blankets to relax and enjoy the performances.  
Food & Drink: Local food vendors set up shop, often in a designated "food court" area, offering various options for purchase. Beer and wine are typically sold as well. Many of the regular Main Street restaurants within the event area remain open, providing additional dining choices. In recent years, the event has sometimes operated as a "Social District," allowing attendees to buy alcoholic drinks from participating vendors/restaurants and carry them within the designated event boundaries (no outside alcohol permitted).  
Kids' Zone: It's very family-friendly, featuring a dedicated Kids' Zone. Past activities have included things like face painting, bubbles, games (cornhole, ring toss), putt-putt, an inflatable bounce house, LEAF's mobile art bus (Easel Rider), and even visits from a fire truck.  
Community Atmosphere: The event is known for its welcoming, bustling, small-town community vibe. It's organized by the Weaverville Business Association with town support and relies on local volunteers. Expect to see sponsor booths lining the street and neighbors mingling. It's a rain-or-shine event, so people come prepared to have a good time regardless of the weather!
