What better place to enjoy live music than in the Storytelling Capital of the World? Jonesborough’s rich cultural heritage sets the perfect stage for a summer concert series that celebrates both music and community. From the soulful sounds of bluegrass and the toe-tapping rhythms of Americana to classic rock and country favorites, our lineup features a diverse mix of local and regional talent. Concerts take place in the heart of downtown, where historic charm meets lively entertainment. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and settle in for an unforgettable evening filled with great tunes, mouthwatering local food truck fare, and refreshing craft beer from regional breweries. Whether you’re a longtime resident or just visiting, there’s no better way to spend a summer evening than soaking in the sounds of Jonesborough under the stars.

A unique benefit of being in Historic Jonesborough in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains is being able to bring your lawn chair or a blanket and join friends and family for an outdoor Friday evening of great music and social fellowship. Music on the Square is a weekly music festival held May through October that offers music at its best with the townscape of downtown Jonesborough as the setting. Music on the Square provides live concerts featuring a variety of music that ranges from Americana, Bluegrass, Celtic, Irish, Old-Time, Blues and Jazz. Local and regional bands, storytellers, poets and performance artists provide the weekly line-up of live entertainment.

Join us on the Plaza in front of the International Storytelling Center every Sunday afternoon June through September for local music, craft beer, cider, and good eats. Food and beer will begin to be served at 4 pm with live music from 5-7 pm.

A different craft brewery will be featured each week along with a rotating food truck that will offer a variety of foods including tacos, BBQ, specialty pizzas, sandwiches and more. The music line-up features local favorite groups and singer/songwriters.
