Bluegrass scheduled for gazebo tonight
Main Street Music’s summer concert series is winding down with just two bands remaining.
The bluegrass band Just Lookin’ Around is scheduled for tonight beginning at 6 p.m. at the downtown gazebo, and organizers are looking forward to a large crowd as participation has increased since the concert series was launched June 11.
Next week’s band, the Silver and Gold Band, is expected to be the final musical act of the year for the downtown venue. Organizers said Tuesday while they had planned to host a summer finale for Aug. 27, those plans were canceled due to another event taking place on the same date.
Last year was the first year free music was offered downtown. This year, organizers had to purchase insurance for the events, Main Street McMinnville director Chris Wilson said, adding that Stanley and Bratcher and Highland Rim Music helped underwrite those expenses this year.
