The Month of August means “back to school” and “back to work” for many, but it also means the City of Fayetteville ramps back up with a calendar full of events including concerts, fitness events, National Night Out, a movie night, and a huge soccer + music festival.
Leading the way is the legendary Uncle Kracker in concert at The Ville (Fayetteville Amphitheater) on Friday, August 2, with Newnan-based special guest Aaron Watkins. The Ville hosts The Mad Hatters (Tom Petty tribute band) and AR38 (38 Special and Atlanta Rhythm Section tribute band) on Saturday, August 17. Buy tickets now at www.thevilleamp.com.
Four Fitness in the Park events will be hosted by Ultimate Fitness at City Center Park in August. These are free events, and they happen on August 3, 10, 17, and 24, all at 9 a.m.
National Night Out is going to be amazing this year, and it happens on Tuesday, August 6, 6 – 7:30 p.m., in the Fayette Pavilion shopping center parking lot behind Fayetteville Fire Station #92. This free event is hosted by Fayetteville Public Safety departments with participation from other local public safety agencies, who will be giving away free prizes, hosting fun activities, and grilling up free food. To top it off, a rescue helicopter from Fayetteville-based Air Evac Lifeteam will fly in for the event.
The biggest event of the summer is the Kick’n Rhythm Festival, featuring live bands, unforgettable soccer experiences, and an epic laser show. It all happens at City Center Park on Saturday, August 10, 4-9 p.m.
