This month’s concert will be hosted by Ringmaster Casual Cal, and features performances from:

♦ Julius Williams

“Third Fridays on Main Street is a part of an even larger plan that includes economic development and enhanced quality of life,” City Administrator Tony M. Phillips said in a statement. “As we continue to move Fairburn forward, our goal is to position the city of Fairburn as your destination for shopping, dining, family friendly experiences and much more throughout the year.”

Attendees can also enjoy food trucks, vendors, and a kid zone with canvas art and face painting.

“We have secured some of the most talented local performers and nationally touring musicians to participate in this month’s Third Friday concert series,” Fairburn’s Economic Development Director Sylvia Abernathy said in a statement. “Activating the Frankie Arnold Stage and Courtyard space has been a key focus for us as we work with our partners to create a public space for both outdoor recreation and entertainment.”

Attendees are encouraged to bring their families, friends, blankets and lawn chairs to the event.
