Summer and live music is a pairing that goes together like peanut butter and jelly...at least here in Clarksville! From May through October on most weekends music lovers can find an outdoor venue showcasing a genre of tunes. Being only 40 minutes from Nashville certainly doesn't hurt our depth of talent, but Clarksville's local music scene is concert-worthy on its own merit. Make sure to check in with our Concerts Calendar for all the summer performance details.
Downtown Commons
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and enjoy free music all summer long at the full-block urban oasis Downtown Commons. Most events feature food trucks, but bring a picnic or enjoy a meal at one of the surrounding downtown restaurants like Hot Pita, Blackhorse, or Yada on Franklin.
Downtown @ Sundown is one of Downtown Clarksville's most popular events. Held the first and third Fridays from May through October, the concert series features a variety of local and regional musicians throughout the summer. Hear Hot Lanta, Barracuda, The Eagles Project , and more! Sundown pre-concert music begins at 6:00 PM with the headline act taking the stage at 7:00 PM.
