That steady beat emanating from The Village Green is proof that Groovin’ on the Green maintains its irresistible pull – a bangin’ summer-long jam that has visitors and locals swinging all season long to performances by some of the area’s most entertaining bands.

“We here at The Village Green love being able to offer free and fun family programming, that’s accessible to everyone in our community, and that can be enjoyed without having to drive down the mountain,” says Ashlie Mitchell, the Village Green’s executive director.

Every Grooving Concert is held rain or shine and there is no admission charge. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets, lawn chairs, beverages, snacks, and your boogie shoes – though there are vendors there as well.

Groovin’ is also offering its “Rent a Tent” – 10 x 10 tent rentals at $100 per tent per event.

Here is a rundown of featured bands and what to look forward to this month: (All events start at 6:30 P.M.)

Commodore Fox takes the stage on August 11 and they’re ready to party.

Their audience is invited to join in the fun as they reel through their playlist – beloved hits from the 1970s and 80s through to today’s house party favorites. They’re followed by Emporium Band on August 25. Emporium is a six-piece band based in Asheville, North Carolina playing the finest in dance music - classic rock, disco, funk, beach and current hits.
