Top 3 Things to Do in Owensboro This Weekend: February 23-25

Aaron Lewis In Concert   

This rocker-turned-country artist is heading to Owensboro for a live show you won’t wanna miss! Aaron Lewis, founding member of multi-platinum band Staind, is bringing The American Patriot tour to the Owensboro Sportscenter on Thursday, February 22. This acoustic tour follows Lewis’ recent musical collaborations with some of the greats, including George Jones, Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels, Alison Krauss and Vince Gill–and it shows the country star at his most personal, intimate and unplugged. Tickets to see Aaron Lewis can be purchased right here for $25 and the show starts at 7 p.m.

The Johnny Cash Experience      

You’ll hear songs and stories from the “Man in Black” in a way that audiences haven’t seen nor heard before at Johnny Cash–The Official Concert Experience. With videos of Cash from episodes of The Johnny Cash Show projected on a screen above the stage, a live band and singers will accompany him in perfect sync. This show highlights Cash’s iconic performances, including “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire” and “I Walk the Line.” The music never stops at this incredible event, and you can see the show yourself at the RiverPark Center on February 22. Tickets are $35 and the show begins at 7 p.m.

Burger Week Preparation  

Everyone is ramping up for Burger Week 2024, and this weekend is a perfect chance to get your planning in order for what’s to come! Held March 1-9, Burger Week will feature the most creative and delectable burgers from nearly 40 different restaurants, food trucks and diners. You’ll want to try as many as possible during this nine-day event, of course, so go ahead and check out the list of participating restaurants right here! As always, all burgers are $7, and a competition will be held to see who has the tastiest burger of all! And be sure to stay tuned for a social media contest! (Hint: The more burgers you eat, the better your chance at winning a prize). This year, Visit Owensboro will also hold a People’s Choice Award, where customers can vote for their favorite burger! We want to thank our amazing Burger Week sponsors: KY Beef Council; German American Bank; Hill View Farms Meats; and Green River Appliance.
