Farragut is giving summer one more smooth-sailing sendoff, with a free yacht-rock concert headed to the plaza later this month. The family-friendly night promises live music, food trucks and enough lawn-chair energy to make soft rock feel like a civic event.
According to Visit Farragut's event calendar, the Yacht Rock Concert is set for Saturday, August 15, at Mayor Ralph McGill Plaza. The outdoor event is free and is billed as the final installment in Farragut's summer concert series, with the town tying it to the America 250 celebration.
Yacht Rock With A Family-Friendly Lineup
Visit Farragut's Facebook post names Second Wind and Knoxville Academy of Music as performers. The announcement also lists Renewal by Andersen of Knoxville, SWTHZ and Tennova Healthcare - Turkey Creek Medical Center among the event sponsors.
The concert is scheduled to run from 6 to 9 p.m., according to Visit Knoxville. That listing describes the evening as an end-of-summer bash with live music and food trucks, which is a fairly strong argument for letting the playlist sail straight into the weekend.
Bring A Lawn Chair And Settle In
The town's event listing encourages attendees to bring lawn chairs and relax with family and friends. The Visit Farragut announcement adds yard games to the mix, making this less of a stand-around concert and more of a casual community night at the plaza.
With classic yacht-rock sounds, food on hand and no ticket price attached, Farragut's August concert is shaping up as an easygoing night out for families, music fans and anyone willing to admit that the soft-rock era had some absolute bangers.
