JUNE’S EVENT WILL BE A COLLABORATION WITH ‘ART IN THE PARK’ 

THIS MONTHLY FESTIVAL SERIES WILL FEATURE FOOD TRUCKS, CRAFT VENDORS, KIDS ZONE AND CONCERT PERFORMANCE BY N-SPIRE  

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Statesville, NC – May 23, 2023–Waves Entertainment in conjunction with Iredell Arts Council, All-American Sound, Stage and Lights and Statesville Recreation & Parks Department are proud to bring the monthly “2nd Saturday Festival” Series to Statesville for the second year in-a-row.   

The first event for the 2023 Season, presented by Southern Distilling, scheduled for Saturday, June 10, will feature ‘Art In The Park’ as the festival teams up with Iredell Arts Council for the annual confab, in support of the over 30 fine artists whose work will be represented.    

“Teaming up with the ‘2nd Saturday Festival’ is a nice opportunity for the residents of Statesville to participate in an event that celebrates the talent of the many fine artists who will be exhibiting their work and at the same time they can enjoy the other entertainment activities available in the park that day, “comments John Koppelmeyer, Executive Director of Iredell Arts Council. 

This family friendly community event series is the latest from the brand that has been bringing community events like ‘Tawba Walk and ‘2nd Friday’ to the Cornelius market for over 10 years.  

Cornelius-based Waves Entertainment has ongoingly produced the highly successful “2nd Friday Street Festival” taking place in Downtown Cornelius on the second Friday of every month for the last 8 years.  Their decision to bring the same festival concept to Statesville was a natural progression in their efforts to produce community events that are free and open to the public.  

The inaugural event last August was a big success with thousands attending the festival for the first time.  “What a great turn-out for the first event last season. For this next event expect to see a lot of new vendors as well as an expanded Kids Zone.  We encourage people to come out and enjoy a fun day in the park,” commented Justin Taylor, Co-Owner at Waves Entertainment.
