Top 3 Things to Do in Owensboro This Weekend: July 1-3

First Fridays   

The first concert series of its kind in Owensboro, you can catch some of the biggest names in contemporary Christian music at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s outdoor stage on the first Friday of each month. On Friday, July 1, you’ll hear from Cochren & Co. on the Michael E. Horn Family stage from 5-8 p.m. This free event will feature a lineup of food trucks and activities for the kiddos as well! All you need to bring is a chair or blanket to this family-friendly concert for people of all ages. 

Downtown Cruise-In      

This weekend’s downtown car show will be nothing short of spectacular. Held on Saturday, July 2 from 4-8 p.m., the upcoming Downtown Cruise-In will feature modern muscle cars. The Sunset Cruisers always puts on a great show, and this free event is guaranteed to bring out some of the coolest cars you’ve ever seen. There will be ladies-only door prizes, awards and tons of makes and models to scope out. All you have to do is head downtown and find the entrance at 3rd and Daviess streets, and you’re set for a family-friendly night out.

4th of July Fireworks    

One of the biggest events of the year (and one of the best fireworks shows you’ve ever seen) will be held in Owensboro on Monday, July 4 from 5-10 p.m. The All-American Fourth of July Fireworks will feature, not one, but four different fireworks shows spanning the city of Owensboro. You can see fireworks light up the night sky from every direction, and it’s a unique opportunity to be surrounded by the sights and sounds of freedom on Independence Day. Live music will be played at Smothers Park starting at 5 p.m. and a 15-minute fireworks show will kick off at 9:15 p.m.
