Downtown Mount Vernon will host two major tribute concerts on Aug. 14, bringing classic rock favorites to the Public Square as part of the Mount Vernon Music and Arts Festival. By combining free community access with affordable reserved seating, the event ensures that audiences of all ages can enjoy the performances. Attendees must present tickets at the Festival Welcome Table to receive wristbands, which are required for access to reserved seating areas. With two nationally recognized tribute acts performing live in downtown Mount Vernon, the Aug. 14 concerts promise to be a highlight of the summer festival season. The Mount Vernon Music and Arts Festival traditionally opens the second Thursday or Friday in August and runs through Sunday in downtown Mount Vernon.
