Beard Club Brings Back Music on the Square
When COVID-19 disrupted Georgetown’s beloved traditions like First Friday Music on the Square, the Georgetown Beard Club took action to bring back the community event. Last summer, members sponsored bands to perform on the sidewalk outside Hydrate on the Square. As interest grew, safety concerns prompted a move back to the courthouse lawn with the help of the Downtown Georgetown Association and sponsorship of all the bands by Tejas Meat Supply. The events have drawn eager crowds that have wrapped around the courthouse, as well as non-profits like Helping Hands of Georgetown and Furrbaby Food Pantry that have set up tables during events.
The rest of this year’s line-up promises more vibrant, musical evenings on the Square starting at 6:30pm on the first Friday of each month:
- JULY – Dan Guevara
- AUGUST – Brother Magnum (Pat Tracey, leader of Dysfunkshun Junkshun)
- SEPTEMBER – Landrum Turner
- OCTOBER – Bob Case and Friends
- NOVEMBER – Memphis Kee
