Music on Main

September 15 Music on Main welcomes the undeniable rhythms of Money Chica to Heritage Square!

This style of music, sometimes called “chicha” music, is known for its infectious Latin beat, its psychedelic, surf guitar pyrotechnics and its melodies influenced by the indigenous culture of the Andes mountains.
This FREE family-friendly event will be held from 7-9pm at Heritage Square Thursday September 15th, and we encourage you to bring blankets and chairs for lawn seating. There will be food and drink available for purchase from some of our fantastic local vendors!
