Fridays, May 16-June 6 | 5-8pm | Downtown Traverse City

Spend your Friday evenings in Downtown Traverse City enjoying Live After 5, a free outdoor entertainment series featuring emerging and established performers. Stroll the sidewalks, grab a bite, shop local, and soak in the sounds of live music as talented artists bring the streets to life. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this is the perfect way to kick off the weekend and experience Downtown in a new way.

Performances will take place at the Jay Smith Walkway (between Pangea’s and Kilwin’s) and in front of Horizon Books throughout downtown, offering a mix of genres and styles to keep the atmosphere fresh and engaging each week. Mark your calendar and join us for this exciting springtime celebration of music, entertainment, and community!
