Lincoln’s Downtown Businesses bring Music City to town June 16th

[June 13, 2023]    On June 16, at 5:30 p.m. the second annual Nashville Night will take place on the Logan County Courthouse square alongside June’s Third Fridays event in Downtown Lincoln. This event is hosted by Lincoln’s Downtown Businesses group and will feature a band in every participating bar and restaurant.

This year there are seven participating venues hosting a variety of different bands and music genres.

The seven venues and their bands are:

• Flossie & Delzena’s Coffee Café - Tulo and Eads from 5.p.m to 7 p.m

• Foxhole Pub N Grub - Biloxi Banks starting at 5:30 p.m.

• Rio Grande – Graviel from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

• Sorrento’s Pizzeria - Lincoln’s Dead from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

• Alley –Bi Saloon - Harmony Grits from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

• Spirited Republic - Stereo Typical from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Lincoln’s Downtown Businesses meet regularly to plan events that will enhance our downtown area and make it a place that encourages visitors. The collaboration of this group not only promotes and assists the downtown businesses themselves; it unites them. This unity can be seen through the careful planning of the special events that take place downtown throughout the year.

Nashville Night is the first event hosted by the Lincoln Downtown Businesses group that promotes the many bars and restaurants located on or near the square. Held alongside the ever-popular summer festival, Third Fridays Downtown Lincoln, the event will feature a Nashville-style music-filled atmosphere, Nashville Night t-shirts for purchase, Nashville Night cups with signature drinks at participating venues, and great food and drinks provided by the many food establishments in Lincoln’s downtown.

In addition, clog dancers from Audra’s Studio of Dance will be performing followed by line-dance instruction for whoever wants to participate.

Combined with all of the activities already planned by the Third Friday committee, this promises to be a downtown happening that truly has something for everyone.
