When is Music on Main?

Where’s the best place to park?
The Ball Field at the Primary School is the dedicated Music on Main parking lot. Alternatively, public parking can also be found in the municipal lot on Main Street and along North Main Street. We always recommend carpooling, especially if you want to enjoy some beer and wine. Please remember that street parking on residential streets is prohibited in Weaverville.
To enter the Ball Field, approach from Brown Street or the south side of S. Main. Go north on S. Main past the ball field and pass the bus parking/pick up zone, then take a left into the bus parking/pick up zone. From there you will go through the gates of the Ball Field and be directed where to park. We have a special way we arrange cars to maximize the number that fit into the ball field. There will be parking attendants and lawn signs to help you throughout.
Handicap Parking is located opposite the bus parking, and in the Main Street Clock lot.

Music on Main is a crowded, bustling event with loud music. Yes, furry friends are welcome, but we only recommend bringing your pet if it will be happy in that environment.
Do I need a ticket?
Nope! Music on Main is free and open to the public. Come and go as you please!
What if it rains?
Music on Main is rain or shine. It’s unlikely we will have prolonged rain all evening, however there’s a chance we will have spotty afternoon rain. Keep an eye on the forecast and bring a raincoat, umbrella, good shoes, etc. because we will be having lots of fun wet or dry.

- Only TWO drinks per person can be ordered at a time.
- You CANNOT carry a “to go” drink outside of the Music on Main boundary, where the road is closed. There will be clear signage.
- Wristbands (see below) don’t count as an ID check for the bars, so you’ll have to get your ID checked when you order. You DO NOT need to purchase a wristband to buy a “to go” drink at a bar.

Who organizes Music on Main?
Music on Main started in 2017 with a group of locals who simply loved Weaverville. They donated their time and energy to create a free, outdoor concert celebrating community, connection, and good music. Today, the event is proudly organized by the Weaverville Business Association—a nonprofit, non-government group—with support from the Town of Weaverville and amazing community volunteers.
From the beginning, Music on Main has been by the people, for the people.
We’re deeply grateful for the volunteers who help make this beloved, free event possible every year.
Can I visit the rest of Main Street and still hear the music?
The music can be heard all down Main Street and many of our other wonderful businesses will be open! We encourage you to sit on their patios and eat, drink, and listen. Check out Leveller, Eluvium, Lion Dog Lounge, Lev & Lulu’s, Glass Onion Tavern, Well Bred, and Blue Mountain Pizza.
Is there anything to do after the music ends at 9pm?
Yep! Check out Eluvium and Twisted Laurel, open until 10:00pm, and Lion Dog Lounge is open until 12:00am
