Get ready for a week of entertainment as Kannapolis heats up with music, movies, and more. On Saturday, June 7, The Fray will be hitting the stage at Village Park Concert Series, a free event guaranteed to draw a crowd with their hit songs starting at 7 p.m. For those looking to enjoy America's pastime, the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers will be hosting a homestand at Atrium Health Ballpark from today to Sunday, squaring off against the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. If you're in it for the long game, stick around for post-game fireworks on Friday and Saturday nights.
The Gem Theatre is throwing down some serious relief from the summer rays with $2 Summer Matinees today and and on Thursday. Families can catch a screening of 'Croods' and its sequel 'Croods: A New Age' at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m, with tickets available online for a cool two bucks. For fresh produce aficionados, the Kannapolis Farmers Market has you covered every Thursday. It'll be bustling from 4 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, offering an array of local produce, meats, baked goods and more — just follow the scent of freshness to the corner of Dale Earnhardt Boulevard & Vance Avenue.
If you're down for free tunes and community vibes, make sure not to miss The Fray's appearance at the Concert in the Park Summer Series. Chances are high that the air will be filled with anthems like 'How to Save a Life' and 'Over My Head (Cable Car)' come 7 p.m. on Saturday. You can bring the entire family, but remember, the little ones should come with a parent or guardian. Spread out the lawn chairs (but leave pets and the smoke at home) and enjoy the food and drinks for sale in the park. If you're worried about parking, fret not; a free shuttle will ferry concertgoers between the parking lots and Village Park from 5 to 11 p.m., according to the City of Kannapolis official website.
