Fall into some outdoor fun this September, with a family-friendly, dancing-in-the-streets concert and a lakeside movie for the kids.

The final concert in Downtown Garner’s Music off Main series is set for next Thursday, Sept. 13 from 6 to 9 p.m., featuring the popular band Hip Pocket.

Playing everything from 1960s soul and ‘80s dance music to current country, beach, and party rock ‘n’ roll, the concert is a great way to end the crowd-drawing season.

The free concert takes place on the back lawn of the Garner Performing Arts Center, at 125 Avery St. Parking is also available at the GPAC main entrance, at 742 W. Garner Road.

Family-friendly food and concessions will be available for purchase — bring your chairs or blankets, but no coolers, please.

The event also features Art off Main, a market featuring local artists and creative professionals displaying and selling their works.
