Thursday is the official kick off of the 2019 summer events in Pineville with Main Street Live.

This Thursday at 7 p.m., Dalton Mills and Gambrel and Wilson will be the first featured concert on the square.

Director Jacob Roan is very excited about the events that will have something for everyone in the whole community to enjoy during the summer.

The next event to be scheduled is a music festival that will be the first of its kind to take place in Bell County. It’s a two-day music event with over 15 bands. Main Street Pineville is partnering with the Bell County Tourism Commission to make the festival happen.

The festival will be held June 7 and 8 at Laurel Cove, and the venue only holds around 1,400.

“We expect that to sell out,” he said. “We are already making plans for next year to take it up a notch, but it’s going to be a really cool event on June 7 and 8, that’s a Friday and Saturday.”
