We love an outdoor concert. Especially when it’s free, family-friendly, and involves our favorite local restaurant vendors + food trucks. Which is why we’re pumped about Sounds on the Square, presented every other Friday by Nexton + the Town of Summerville, all summer long.
The free concert series will rotate between two locations: the just opened Nexton Square dining + entertainment district in Summerville’s Nexton community and Hutchinson Square in downtown Summerville.
Sounds on the Square kicked off with The Vegabonds on June 21 but has plenty of shows left, so we put together an at-a-glance preview below. Pick out which shows sound the most up your aural alley, or make plans to attend them all.
