Thursdays on Main: The ToneZ - Charlotte On The Cheap

Kannapolis’ Summer Entertainment Series 2024 includes a diverse lineup of music, fun family movies, and children’s entertainment. These are all free events. One of the concerts is followed by fireworks.

While you’re in Kannapolis make sure to explore the city, especially the beautifully revitalized downtown. We put together a guide to spending the day in Kannapolis. Also, visit the renovated Gem Theatre and take the kids to its summer matinee series.
