Friday After 5 - 2025 Season

Friday After 5, Owensboro's award-winning FREE concert series, just announced its 2025 schedule and it offers up a blend of acts making their downtown debut and some popular returning favorites.

Though this year's Friday After 5 may seem smaller in terms of geography, it's going to be bigger in terms of bandwidth (pardon the pun) and star power.
