Live Music This Weekend: Hendersonville plays host to several street concert series
Steve Wong, Times-News correspondent
As the COVID pandemic continues to recede, at least here in the USA, I am amazed at how quickly most of us are desperately trying to return to normal.
Personally, I think this is a good thing, and as long as the CDC, WHO and NC DHHS say I can eat, drink, and be merry without wearing a mask, I’m all in for gathering in the streets to hear live music.
Hendersonville has a wonderful track record for closing down Main Street for a good time. On some sleepy level, I’ve known for a long time there are several series of live music events in Hendo, but it was until this year that the big picture formed in my mind.

People young and old will soon make their way to the Visitor Center at 201 S. Main St. in downtown Hendersonville to experience mountain heritage bluegrass music, square dancing and clogging at the annual Street Dances.
The free dances will be held Monday nights, July 12 and 26 and Aug. 9 and 23, from 7-9 p.m.
The roots of Appalachian music and dance run deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina and have been passed down for generations, the Henderson County Tourism Development Authority said in a news release.
The Street Dance started in 1918 when residents of Hendersonville took to the street to welcome home soldiers from World War I.
