Summer Friday Nights
Enjoy Sylva’s free live music summer series, Concerts on the Creek, with performances every Friday evening from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day Weekend. The outdoor shows take place from 7-9 PM at the Bridge Park gazebo beside Scott Creek in downtown Sylva in Jackson County. Explore one of our favorite small towns! Just a few miles away is quaint Dillsboro.
All shows are family-friendly (see the 2026 lineup, below), drawing diverse audiences comprised of locals and visitors alike. Bring a chair or blanket. Free admission, but donations appreciated!
Food is available within walking distance at downtown restaurants. Plus, come early to browse the shops or sample local beers at nearby breweries.
Go to the Jackson County website for the latest concert updates.
