Community Concert featuring the Steep Canyon Rangers

The highly anticipated Community Concert is returning to Pack Square Park in Downtown Asheville on Thursday, May 29, 2025, and this year’s lineup promises to deliver another unforgettable evening of live music, local food, and community spirit. The event will feature Steep Canyon Rangers, one of the most renowned names in bluegrass and Americana music, along with the incredible opening act, Sam Burchfield and the Scoundrels. The Community Concert is presented by Oskar Blues Brewery, Dale’s, and Fred Anderson Subaru. 

This celebration of community is FREE to attend, with General Admission available to all. For those seeking an enhanced experience, Preferred Access Tickets powered by Skyla Credit Union are on sale now, providing attendees with a premium concert experience in the heart of Asheville’s iconic Downtown.

“We’re so excited to bring this event back to Pack Square Park, where the energy and excitement of the community come alive through great music and local flavor,” said Hayden Plemmons, Executive Director of the Asheville Downtown Association. “This concert not only highlights incredible talent but also gives us a chance to showcase the amazing local food vendors, and artists that make our Downtown so special.”

“The thing that I love about playing a big, free show on Pack Square is that it gives us all an opportunity to come together and have a great time. We need that now more than ever. Hopefully this year we can bring in a lot of folks from out town to come stay the weekend, eat in our restaurants, have a beer, buy some artwork and help Asheville get back on our feet” – Graham Sharp, Steep Canyon Rangers

In addition to the music, the Community Concert will also feature a variety of local food vendors, a marketplace with unique handmade goods, and a gear swap presented by Second Gear, giving attendees the chance to exchange gently used outdoor gear. The event is designed to bring together people of all ages for an evening of celebration, while supporting local businesses and artists.
