The City of Statesboro’s “Downtown Live” closes its 2023 summer concert series Thursday with Liquid Pleasure hitting the stage a little later due to a heat advisory in effect all week.

Like the previous three concerts, a stage will be set up on East Main Street in front of the Bulloch County Courthouse for folks to enjoy the free event beginning at 7 p.m.

The first three concerts of the inaugural series have drawn thousands of people to downtown for the music, food and good times.

“Downtown Live has been a huge success,” said event organizer Olympia Gaines, who works as an assistant to the city manager of Statesboro. “We’ve received great reviews from our residents and event visitors who hope to see us add additional concert dates for next year. We’re operating under a bit of a learning curve during this first year, but we’re planning to make Downtown Live even bigger and better in years to come.”

Liquid Pleasure has been a band for more than 50 decades, and offers covers of modern groups like The Black Eyed Peas and Outkast to Motown staples like The Temptations and The Supremes.

Admission to the concert is free. Food trucks and beverage vendors are open at 6 p.m. Thursday, with several downtown restaurants also within walking distance of the concert stage. Downtown Live is a family-friendly event for all ages.
