Music in the Green 7/16/2025 5:00 PM - 7/16/2025 8:00 PM

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:12:08 GMT

Music in the Green is a reimagining of the long-running Summer Concerts at Lakeside Park - now taking place in the heart of uptown Mayville at the Village Green Park. This summer series takes place on select Wednesdays from 5-8pm, blending the joy of live music with a spotlight on local business to create a vibrant evening of connection and downtown community support.

Special Musical Guest: Dirty Shirley

Join us August for Charity Nuse (And Her Band).

This event is not your typical craft or vendor fair, it's designed as a business expo-style experience that invites local storefronts, service providers, and organizations to showcase what they offer in creative, engaging ways. The new location and format in uptown Mayville is specifically intended to boost visibility and drive foot traffic into the business district.

Local businesses are encouraged to stay open late, host sidewalk sales, and create interactive or unique in-store experiences to attract and engage visitors. Whether you're located in the uptown district or beyond, this is a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community and be part of an exciting summer series.

Participation is free, we just ask that businesses register so they can be properly promoted as part of our Music in the Green campaign. If you are not located uptown, just register and we will gladly provide a space for you to set up and showcase your products or services in the event area. Please note a Certificate of Liability Insurance will be required to be provided prior to the event. You will also be responsible for providing your own tables, chairs, tents, tent weights, etc.

This event is made possible thanks to the generous financial sponsorship of the Village of Mayville and the Town of Chautauqua, whose support allows us to bring vibrant live music and renewed energy to the uptown business district. Their contributions help cover essential event costs and ensure we can deliver a meaningful experience for all.

Music in the Green supports the CHQ Chamber's mission to build vital connections, provide professional resources, and champion our local businesses in Chautauqua County.

Come enjoy the music, explore uptown, and connect with the businesses that make Mayville thrive!

Business registration is open now.
