Mooresville preps for downtown festivals
 |
The parking lot behind Soiree restaurant in downtown Mooresville will be transformed into a six-band stage on May 17 for the first Main Street Music Festival.
Music including Motown, honky tonk, blues and rock will be featured from 1-11 p.m. Tickets are $10, with proceeds benefitting the HealthReach Community Clinic in Mooresville. Food and drink will be available for purchase.
“We are excited to offer our space for this outdoor festival,” said Jon Spencer of Soiree. “Community support and involvement is important to us and being able to help give back in the form of ticket proceeds supporting HealthReach Community Clinic is the cherry on top of a fun day of music.”
Bands performing will include Bits and Pieces, the The Bo Stevens Band from Winston-Salem, The Solution, The Michael Hager Group, From A Seed and Swizzlelink.
Advanced tickets are available at Soiree or by calling 704-235-8046.
