3rd Annual weekly music event owned and operated by Main Street Events, Inc. The purpose of the event is to encourage citizens and visitors to spend time in Downtown Anderson to experience the restaurant and retail offerings. With a wealth of development occurring in the downtown area, the business community is supportive of an event to serve as a catalyst for increased visibility and quality of life for Anderson residents and tourists. Music will range from oldies and beach to blues and soul. Regional and national touring acts will be featured during the 22 weeks.
**The City of Anderson has just completed a new Downtown Parking Garage a few feet away from Downtown Sounds. Parking is free after 5pm each day, making a convenient and safe place to park. Click here for more information on parking and other services offered in Downtown Anderson.
