Round Rock Comes Alive with Free 'Music on Main' Series Every Wednesday Through JuneSource: City of Round Rock

Round Rock is tuning up for its annual Music on Main event, turning the downtown area into a buzzing hub of live music every Wednesday from now through June. Families in the Round Rock area, get your picnic baskets ready, because the Music on Main series launched last night and promises to keep the rhythms rolling until the end of June.

The festivities, hosted by the City of Round Rock, are set to take place on the Prete Main Street Plaza stage at 221 E. Main St., with performances from 7 to 9 p.m. Imagine that – free top-notch entertainment, face painting, and balloon twisting, all set against a backdrop of the downtown buzz. Visitors can grab a bite at local eateries or snack on goodies from vendors like Abraham’s Hot Dogs and JC’s Kettle Korn. With a spread of musical genres on the table, there’s likely something to get everyone’s feet tapping.

According to the City of Round Rock website, the spring/summer festivities are easy to access with free parking available at the City Hall Garage at the corner of S Lampasas St/E Bagdad Ave and the Round Rock Public Library Parking Garage at 200 East Liberty Avenue. Who says there's no such thing as free parking in a city?

Last night, the Powell Brothers set the stage ablaze with their country/rock melodies, just to begin with a bang. This Wednesday ritual is more than a concert series; it's a community gathering that underscores Round Rock's commitment to arts and culture. "We’ll have heaps of giveaways at our tent," promised the team while luring in families with attractions like free face painting by Lisa Eklund and free balloon twisting by Tony, as was revealed on the Round Rock Arts and Culture Facebook page.

Music on Main not only offers a feast for the ears but also for the taste buds and fun for the little ones. It's an invitation from the city to its residents – come out, play, dine, and unwind. So mark your calendars for next Wednesday and join the good folks of Round Rock for an evening that's easy on the wallet but rich in experience. Because when it comes to Wednesday nights in Round Rock, life is a picnic – literally.
