🔥 Live Music by Blue Monday

A Southeast band based in Charlotte, NC, Blue Monday is the region’s premier new‑wave synth‑rock powerhouse. The band blends the synth‑driven energy of the 80s with the alt‑dance anthems of the 90s and the cinematic punch of modern electro‑rock, delivering a show that’s part nostalgia, part next‑level spectacle.

🔥 NEW this year - Featuring local talent from 5:45-6:15 PM

Plus, don’t miss the Makers Market happening alongside the event, featuring local vendors, handmade goods, and unique finds that make the night even more worth exploring. Come early, meet someone new, shop Downtown, and stay for the full experience.

🍔 Food Trucks On Site
Enjoy a variety of festival favorites, sweet treats, and refreshing drinks—vendors accept cash or card.

🍺 Beer & Wine Info
Stop by the Check ID Tent near Kelly Street with a valid ID to grab your wristband. 

Red Buffalo Brewing Company will serve fan favorite draft beers; Clocktower IPA (6.6% ABV), Blue'sBerry Ale (5.2% ABV), and Mouthy Blonde Ale (4.5% ABV). In addition, they will offer select wines and a variety of other brand name beers. Tokens from last year will be honored.

Bring your friends, lawn chairs, and good vibes—it’s the perfect way to spend a fall evening 🎉
