Downtown After 5 is more than just a concert series—it's a community staple that celebrates the diversity and creativity of Asheville. Each event is free to the public, thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and partners, drawing an enthusiastic crowd of between 5,000 to 6,000 attendees.

This month’s celebration features headliner J & The Causeways with opening act Bayou Diesel and a special appearance by the Asheville Second Line, bringing the infectious energy and rhythms of New Orleans to Pack Square Park.

Food and beverage vendors will be on-site alongside a marketplace where attendees can explore and shop handmade crafts from local makers. Join us at Pack Square Park for New Orleans Night—an evening of music, dancing, local flavors, and the lively spirit of the Big Easy.
