Meet the Committee

Does the thought of scrumptious food, community fellowship, dancing and great music sound like a winning combination? If so, we want you to grab a couple of friends, bring your favorite lawn chair, and get ready for one of our community’s most spectacular events! 

Join us Downtown Clinton for the 2026 Alive After Five Summer Concert Series. Come listen to live music by some of the hottest bands touring the southeast. Enjoy delicious food and cool beverages and check out all the exhibit booths. You can soak up the afternoon sun...dance 'til you drop...or just sit back and watch! Either way, it's a great event for the whole family to enjoy...and it's FREE!

What to Expect

A friendly greeting.

We want you to feel like part of the family.

Great Music.

Your friends and neighbors will be clapping and singing along to the same song.

Great Food.

Enjoy fresh made sandwiches, funnel cakes, shaved ice and more.
