Music in the Green 8/13/2025 5:00 PM - 8/13/2025 8:00 PM

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 16:12:57 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: 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.

Please purchase your Super Pack online when you register, as all prizes are drawn prior to play the day of the tournament.

You can purchase a Par Sponsorship online, which includes a golf foursome AND the Super Pack for all four players. If you are already signed up as a Par sponsor please email us to let us know who will be playing on your team.

Become a Tee Talk Sponsor! Just a handful of organizations can participate by having an informational table set up at a hole to provide product samples, materials, and a chance to chat with the golfers on the course.

All golfers are invited to bring some cash to get in on more fun for the day! You can enter the Skins Game for just $20 per team, there will be some additional games as well. Additional 50/50 tickets will be $5 each.

Get ready to kick off your evening downtown with Jumpstart to Third Thursday, a new initiative leading into the long running Third Thursday concert series. This pre-concert event is all about boosting foot traffic and encouraging the community to shop local, linger longer, and enjoy more of what downtown Jamestown has to offer.

From 4:00 to 6:00 PM, local businesses are invited to join the excitement by:

- Staying open a little later to catch post-work crowds and early concertgoers.

- Offering special promotions.

- Creating interactive or unique in-store experiences.

- Hosting sidewalk sales.

Whether folks are just getting off work or heading downtown early for the concerts, Jumpstart to Third Thursday creates the perfect opportunity to explore, connect, and support local.

Let’s make Downtown Jamestown the place to be on Third Thursdays May through September.

Concert details for each month can be found on the Jamestown Renaissance Corporation website for the most up-to-date info on performers, locations, and more.
