Upside Downtown Concert – Hippodrome

Upside Downtown Concert – Hippodrome

The Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge (AAC) is excited to announce the return of the successful Upside Downtown Concert, bringing free outdoor music to Downtown Lethbridge. Performances will take place on Rotary Square in front of Casa every Thursday in July and August from 5-7 pm. This summer, the series promises an exciting lineup of local talent, making it the perfect way to enjoy warm, shaded, evenings with friends and family. The concerts are free to attend and feature a licensed area for those wishing to enjoy a beverage while soaking in the music. A food truck will also be on-site during the performances.

The Upside Downtown Concert series aims to create a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere where music lovers of all ages can come together and enjoy high-quality live performances. An exciting addition this year will be the curated art presentation “Roots/Route” by Be.Trit featuring a mobile sculpture on the square as well as additional artwork presented within artist kiosks on site.

Upside Downtown is made possible thanks to the generous support of our community-minded sponsors including:

Hippodrome:

Funk, soul, rhythm and blues, blues and even some Jazz are part and parcel of the repertoire of Lethbridge’s premier “rhythm and groove” band, Hippodrome. A rock solid rhythm section, coupled with a dynamite horn section, all backing a frontline of fantastic vocalists make this 11 piece group a truly exciting experience for any music lover!
Based in Lethbridge, Alberta, Hippodrome features the talents of some of the finest musicians in Southern Alberta. The group performs at a wide variety of venues–from stadiums to night clubs. Outstanding musicianship, high energy presentation, and lots of singable, danceable music make Hippodrome a terrific music treat for everyone!
