Summer Salute takes over downtown Hopkinsville this weekend

The Summer Salute is fast approaching this weekend and things are going full steam to get set up and ready for two nights of music and festivity.

Jan Oglesby with Parks and Recreation appeared on WHOP Tuesday and says you’ll see people out and about in the area of the Founders’ Square in downtown Hopkinsville getting ready for the event that will have KC and the Sunshine Band headlining Saturday night.  She urges people to bring their blankets and chairs for the free concert and be ready to have a great time.

She says there will be tons of food and drinks options, craft vendors, kid activities, carnival rides and more, and it will be laid out in a familiar way this year.

Oglesby says they’re very excited to welcome folks back downtown this Friday and Saturday and they think this will be biggest event yet.

The Jason Montgomery Band will be performing Friday evening starting around 7 p.m., and then KC and the Sunshine Band will take the man stage starting around 8 p.m. Saturday night.

A full schedule of events can be found on the Summer Salute website, and update can be found on the Summer Salute Facebook page.
