Kick off the summer with an unforgettable evening of music, food, and fun at Fayetteville After 5, headlined by the smooth sounds of Camel City Yacht Club on Friday, June 20. Fayetteville After 5 will take place at Festival Park. Gates open at 5 p.m. with acts beginning around 6 p.m.
Fayetteville After Five is organized by the Fayetteville Dogwood Festival. Kaylynn Suarez, the Executive Director, felt Fayetteville After Five needed to continue.
“We brought back Fayetteville After Five because we believe in the power of community. This city thrives when we come together... not just for the music, but for the memories, the laughter, and the chance to simply be present with one another. While there are other free concert series out there, we’re doing things a little differently,” she said. “Ours feels more like hanging out in a friend’s backyard, right here in the heart of downtown. No pressure. No big production. Just good vibes, great music, and a space where everyone feels welcome. We’re here to celebrate the things that matter: community, connection, and supporting the local businesses that make Fayetteville home. Simply creating an environment to enjoy this season together.”
