Gastonia Concert Series

The Gastonia Concert Series is one of the most visible community events in Gaston County, drawing thousands of attendees across multiple venues each season. If your business wants to support local nonprofits while gaining meaningful community visibility, we’d love to talk.

🌟 Attention local artisans and entrepreneurs! 🎨💍 We’re excited to invite vendors to join us at our June and September concerts at the Rotary Centennial Pavilion in Downtown Gastonia. Don’t miss this chance to display your products to a vibrant and enthusiastic crowd!

Live music. Local impact. One unforgettable season.

The Gastonia Concert Series is back for 2026 — and it’s bigger than ever.

For more than a decade, this series has brought our community together through live music while raising funds for local nonprofits and community initiatives. To date, over $275,000 has been given directly to Gaston County organizations through Community Support Grants and Gastonia East Rotary projects.

Every show you attend helps us give back.

Admission is free. The impact is real.
