From DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN

Downtown Bowling Green Special Improvement District (S.I.D) and The Downtown Foundation invites you to the first ever Downtown BG LIVE starting on Friday, May 28 at 5 p.m. in the parking lot next to McKenzie’s Flower Basket and BG Graphics Company on Main Street. Live music performances can be enjoyed free of charge. Just bring a chair, sit back and enjoy the music.  

Tim Concannon will be bringing in musical guests to perform from around the area.  Tim is the host of the Hump Day Revue and co-chair of Performing Arts for The Black Swamp Arts Festival and is excited to bring more opportunities to enjoy music in our downtown. “I’ve always been a big fan of supporting our local musical artists and this is an event I’m sure all will enjoy.” said Tim Concannon.

The dates will be Fridays and Saturdays starting on Memorial Day weekend Friday, May 28 and ending on Labor Day weekend Saturday, Sept. 4. Downtown BG LIVE will be on Friday and Saturday between 5-7 p.m.  That is a total of 15 weekends or 30 concert dates.

Our first musical artist will be Timmy C and the Game Changers on Friday, May 28 and Nikki D and the Sisters of Thunder playing on Saturday, May 29, 2021.  Please check out downtownbgohio.org/downtown-bg-live for upcoming acts or possible show time changes.  In case of rain, the show goes on.  Juniper Brewing Company will host any rain dates that happen on a Friday and Doc’s Big City Saloon will host any rain dates on Saturday. 

The stage is donated by The Black Swamp Arts Festival and the parking lot is donated by Floyd Craft and his family. These partnerships are instrumental in putting this concert series together for the public to enjoy. 

“Every opportunity we get to increase foot traffic downtown helps our local businesses succeed. Along with the Parklets and DORA this summer it gives another reason to shop, dine and explore Downtown BG.” Said Tony Vetter, Director of Downtown Bowling Green S.I.D. and the Downtown Foundation.
