The “Salem After Five” concert series kicks off this Friday, April 26 with “Domino” at the Salem Farmers Market. The following food trucks will be on-site: Dale’s Diner Express, Kettle Cooker Express, Countryman Jamaican Grill and Sweet Surrender Ice Cream.
This year’s lineup includes a mix of regional bands, a variety of culinary options and several deserving charitable organizations. The remainder of the all-star lineup for 2024 features “Kids in America”, “Phelgar Hill Band”, “The Kings” and “The Worx”.
Gates open for each performance at 5 p.m. and the shows will last until 9 p.m. Patrons are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs or a blanket and support our vendors and non-profits. Food from local vendors, children’s activities, and adult beverages from P.A. Short will be available. Tickets are still just $5 for adults and all those 12-and-under are admitted free. Once again, all proceeds from the concerts will benefit several worthwhile charities throughout Virginia’s Blue Ridge region.
